It's not always available.  But I think we can look for it and use it if
it's available.  Else fall back to the old code.

What is the specific model #?  "800" and "700" refer to classes of machines
(mostly dealing with the bus architecture in the early days).

Your machine should have a specific model number.  You ought to be able
to get it from uname -a.  Something like 849, 877, etc etc.  Those usually
are enough to allow us to tweak config.guess to DTRT.
