It's unlikely that upstream developers are going to be interested in making wholesale changes to their configuration procedures just because Red Hat objects to having machine-dependent config files that are actually machine-dependent. They'll say, "Yup, that's what they are supposed to be." Personally I'll probably be following Bill's suggestion of #ifdef __i386__ #include "bits/i386-defines.h" #endif #ifdef __x86_64__ #include "bits/x86_64-defines.h" #endif But what's not very clear to me is where he imagines these additional files will go --- is the reference to bits/ supposed to imply some particular scheme, and if so what is it? Personally I'd rather not add a new subdirectory --- mainly because I don't see which package would own it --- and would rather have, say, my_config.h #including my_config_i386.h and so on from the same directory. regards, tom lane
