I have been using make(1) and acr(1) for most of my projects for a
long while
acr seems to have the OS guessing quite bad. It checks if uname is the
GNU version and then adds -gnu to the system type if it is? What if
the system is a uClibc based one that uses the GNU version of uname?
gcc -dumpmachine would be a better way IMO (though probably not the
best anyway, atleast if the system has some other compiler than gcc..)
It cannot depend on gcc. What about crosscompiling? What about non-C
projects?
That string is just orientative imho. So i simplified the algorithm to
handle most common situations.
The code in autoconf that do this is really painful. And i dont really
get the point of having a moré accurate and complex host string
resolution.
Do you have any other proposal to enhace it? With --target, --host and
--build you can change the default string.
