Subject: i586-unknown-linux-gnu?
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 1996 19:44:18 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199612111844.TAA30151@bolyai.cs.elte.hu> (raw)
The new autoconf indentifies linux as linux-gnu. Unfortunately that can
break startup scripts depending on $OSTYPE. I'd like to know what do you
think about changing OSTYPE from linux to linux-gnu. We can edit the new
config.guess to get the original OSTYPE but that would disagree with the
GNU standard names. I really do not understand why FSF is so annoyed with
i586-unknown-linux. It would be more logical to call elf linux with
libc.so.5 to linux as before, and linux-gnu can mean linux with the new GNU
libc.so.6.
