To the best of my understanding, the Fujitsu SPARC VIIIfx is V9-compatible. An original Linux would report "sparc64". The Linux kernel source tree does not contain any instances of "s64fx". You seem to be running a non-standard modification. I do not believe modifying the uname machine type is even required. Linux never distinguished between sun4[cdm] or sun4[uv]. Without further discussion also involving the Linux SPARC maintainer, I do not think config.guess should start recognizing this yet. Otherwise, we might just as well add the platform types "amd64" and "x64" and "enoughbitsalready". Not. Thoughts? _______________________________________________ config-patches mailing list config-patches@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/config-patches
