- Subject: target names and glibc versions on linux
I've been having a bit of trouble with the way that config.guess returns
the same string (i686-pc-linux-gnu) for glibc 2.0, 2.2 and 2.3 based
GNU/Linux systems.
For solaris config.guess seems to take this into account by reporting
sparc-sun-solaris2.6, sparc-sun-solaris2.8 etc.
I suppose my question is whether there are any plans to add a glibc
version number in the config.guess output in a similar manner to the
solaris output (e.g. i686-pc-linux-gnu2.0 )
If this is not desirable then some explanation (or pointer to an
explanation) of the rationale might help me get my head around things...
Apologies if this is the wrong list for such a question.
Regards,
Alex.
