autoconf version 2.13
>Description:
The --program-suffix (and --program-prefix) configure options
do not work.

Two things are not done correctly.
1. program_transform_name is not set correctly in gcc/Makefile;
it is instead always "s,x,x,".  In ./Makefile it
is set correctly using the specified suffix.

2. The EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX options in config.h are not set.

When I set program_transform_name in gcc/Makefile using the
one in Makefile is a guide and added TARGET_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX="whatever"
and HOST_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX=""  in config.h after it was
built, the desired results were obtained.

I checked the 3.0 release as well and had the same problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
configure with --program-suffix=foo
make bootstrap
make install
note that the programs do not have the desired suffix
