Hi Apostolos,

Yes but I want this script to correctlydetect wheather I am using a 64 or
32bit system.Previously, the script "detected" that allSolaris systems are
32bit systems, somethingcompletely wrong.
you seem to ignore or misunderstand what I've written: there's no such
thing as a 64-bit *system*.
The result of `uname -m' is what gives the system.
If you build 64-bit code, you should get
the 64-bit configure triplet;
No, if you're on a system identified by `uname -m' as x86_64 or other
64bit types then by default you will get a 64bit guessed triplet. If
you want some other triplet then it is up to the user to give it.
if you build 32-bit code (even on a system
also capable of executing 64-bit code), you get the 32-bit triplet.
No, if your on a system identified by `uname -m' as x86_64 or other
64bit types then by default you will get a 64bit guessed triplet. If
you want to build 32bit code then you need to specify the triplet.
And you still haven't answered my original question: what problem
prompted you to make this config.guess change? Without that
information, it's hard to decide what this is all about.
I remember it being discussed but I don't remember the details and won't
do the research for you. In the end it was decided that using anything
other than uname -m to determine the system was a no go.
