I think it's a bad idea to change the config.guess output for
systems where a) it isn't "wrong" and b) it has been that way for
quite some time. For example, changing `i686-pc-linux-gnu' to
`i686-pc-linux' seems pointless to me; the old entry is correct and it
has been that way for some time, so changing it will likely break
something.
If there's a problem with config.guess output for some particular
system, then the output for that system, and only that system, should
be changed. If you understand the issues here, then it would be very
helpful if you could submit a patch that restores the old behavior for
systems other than the ones you particularly wanted to change.
Thanks,
