Grrr...  In the past config.guess used gcc to compile a test program using
gcc.  I told sometime ago to whoever it was that I'm going to remove
all non-cpu related information (endianess should be considered per
_thread_ on MIPS!) from /proc/cpuinfo where it has no business; the /proc
rewrite in 2.4.15 more or less forced me into this.
