Hi, Sheheryar,

The config.gcc is included in the configure process.
Check configure.ac, you can see following code fragment:

  # Collect target-machine-specific information.
  . ${srcdir}/config.gcc

So if the process does not work well as you expect, I think
there must be something wrong, either syntax error or logic error,
in your implementation in the config.gcc.


Best regards,
jasonwucj
