RE: Should boehm-gc/config.guess be a copy of gcc/config.guess?

["Boehm, Hans" <hans_boehm at hp dot com>]

The version of config.guess I used was more or less an accident.  It should
be synched.

I'm not an expert in this stuff.  It would be nice if the GC library could
be built without the rest of gcc from the boehm-gc subdirectory.  This seems
to argue for a separate copy.  On the other side, there's the obvious
argument for a single copy.  But that must be a standard issue that also
applies to other pieces like libffi?  Does it have a standard solution?
