The related code (config.guess and config.sub) is technically not a part of GCC, bug a separate project hosted at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=tree. Stratus VOS was introduced into config.guess since 2001, so many existing code may depends on this. Instead, you can contact config.guess maintainers and ask them to reserve a name (like "vix") for you. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
