Akim, If you allow me a word as a complete outsider, I personally think that your wish to maintain documentation for every OS is extremely nice and denotes a lot of courage, because maintaining such a thing can be hell. I think this is Pavel's point: that this effort can fade in time, and we woul

config.guess Linux overhaul

It's that time again. The config.guess script is losing on GNU/Linux and this time, I'm going to fix it. Background: on many GNU/Linux systems, config.guess uses the output of `ld --help' to determine which architecture, object file format and C library version the build system uses. The script

I intend to make the 2.49b snapshot this (French) afternoon. I still have to apply a couple of patches, one for config.*, and another for AT_CHECK (the one which is waiting to be debated. I'm applying it anyway because it makes the test suite more robust. If someone doesn't agree with this pat
