Nope. Even if it did the kernel wouldn't care. Build gcc on a peecee sometime and you'll see "i386-unknown-linux-gnu" and it will work as well as gcc ever does. Have some fun with it - maybe "mips-fuckmeinthegoatass-linux-gnu" (STR) for your amusement or "mips-notintel-linux-gnu" to make a statement. It won't affect anything. Leave off the -gnu, though, and configure will kindly add it back on, reminding you that it is, in fact, GNU/Linux, dammit. -- Keith M Wesolowski <wesolows@foobazco.org> http://foobazco.org/~wesolows ------(( Project Foobazco Coordinator and Network Administrator ))------ "There is no such song as 'Acid Acid Acid' by 'The Acid Heads' but there might as well be." --jwz
