H> How about this patch? Please, no. I have worked very hard to eliminate many of the instances where it has been necessary to compile dummy programs in config.guess. They are troublesome to many config.guess users. How about this instead? cpu=`cpp << EOF | grep ^mips #if defined(__MIPSEL__) || defined(__MIPSEL) || defined(_MIPSEL) || defined(MIPSEL) mipsel #endif #if defined(__MIPSEB__) || defined(__MIPSEB) || defined(_MIPSEB) || defined(MIPSEB) mips #endif EOF` if test -n "$cpu" ; then echo $cpu-unknown-linux-gnu && exit 0 fi Please try this out on a MIPS Linux system and, if it works, resubmit a new patch along these lines.
