Hi,
How does one get new build system triplets cannonized
into config.guess? Its not clear to me which of the
autotools tools (autoconf, automake, or libtool) owns this.
I ask because supercomputers my software goes onto are
are increasingly cross-compiled systems. They have a
linux-based head nodes but compute nodes run
a lean-as-you-can-get OS (think stripped
down program loader). There's no UNIX shell on these
compute nodes, so we're trying to figure out the "right"
way to get './configure --target=HW-VENDOR-OS' into
the autotools system (assuming its not in a pre-release
already.)
For example, the Cray XT3's & XT4's are coming up
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
and should be
x86_64-cray-linux-gnu
for head nodes and I can imagine something like
./configure --target=x85_64-cray-catamount-3.0
for compute nodes.
Similar for IBM's BlueGene,
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
should be something like
powerpc64-ibm-linux-gnu
for compute nodes and
powerpc64-ibm-bgl_cnk (BlueGene/L Compute Node Kernel)
for compute nodes.
Help?
Gary
