Re: [PATCH] Import config.sub and config.guess from upstream.


OK I understand. So am I right, that in such a case there is no way to
introduce new OS targets to branch 4.9 and 5?
What about 6 branch and trunk?

On the other hand: this is my first patch and I'm not quite familiar
with the procedure of applying patches to upstream. Who should upload
my patch, when it gets accepted?

Thank you,
Jakub
