OK, but then wy did the above-referenced patch get rid of the freebsd*-gnu* rule? That is, why is FreeBSD different from NetBSD in this area? config.guess doesn't do anything special for NetBSD. That is, config.guess's FreeBSD rule prepends "k" when it appends "-gnu", but its NetBSD rule doesn't do that. Why are the two operating systems treated differently here? And if config.guess's NetBSD rule doesn't prepend "k", why does the patch add a rule for knetbsd*-gnu? > In any case, the following: > > > - netbsd*-gnu*) os='GNU/NetBSD';; > > netbsd*) os='NetBSD';; > > Would call it "NetBSD" which is incorrect, so we need to find a better > solution. Sorry, I'm lost. This is all getting pretty complicated. Can you explain what's going on here, from first principles? I'd like an explanation that I could put into a comment in host-os.m4. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
