Hi,
I am creating packages for Debian. The current practise at the moment if
a package uses autoconf is to replace the config.sub and config.guess
files in upstream with the latest version (which is available through
the autotools-dev package) before building. Also, all Debian systems
(running on 11 architectures) know what they are, so most packages also
call configure with --host and --build arguments.
So, does using --host and --build mean that config.sub and config.guess
will never be used? From a brief look at configure this appears to be
the case, but is it a behaviour I can depend on to remain true in the
future? Being able to ditch the config.sub and config.guess update mess
would make things a lot easier...
Regards,
Ross
