[root@Dell gcc-4.2.4]# pwd
/data1/home/src/gcc-4.2.4
[root@Dell gcc-4.2.4]# ls -l config.sub
-rwxrwxr-x 1 515 515 32560 2006-10-16 06:27 config.sub

No, the gcc-4.2.4 sources SHOULD have it !  This script will tell which
"calculated target name" would be given to the configures in the source
subdirs :

[root@Dell gcc-4.2.4]# ./config.sub i686-linux
i686-pc-linux-gnu

Please read my earlier message about configuring with './configure' in
the main source directory!  That is strictly FORBIDDEN !
