Joesph,
I've sent my final revised patch to the config-patches mailing list
and also posted it on the pre-existing patches entry for config.guess...
http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?6827
I am rather unclear on the process of getting patches approved for
config.guess. There doesn't seem to be an archive of messages to
the config-patches mailing list for following the discussion of
a particular submission. Also, I can't seem to find a list of the
current maintainers for config.guess who would be able to approve
a given patch. Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
Jack
