NAME
       config.guess - guess the build system triplet

SYNOPSIS
       config.guess [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
       The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the build
       machine on which the compilers are run, the host machine on which the
       package	being  built  will run, and, exclusively when you build a com
       piler, assembler etc., the target machine,  for	which  the  compiler
       being built will produce code.

       This script will guess the type of the build machine.

       Output the configuration name of the system config.guess is run on.

   Operation modes:
       -h, --help
	      print this help, then exit

       -t, --time-stamp
	      print date of last modification, then exit

       -v, --version
	      print version number, then exit

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       config.guess  might  need  to  compile and run C code, hence it needs a
       compiler  for  the  build  machine:  use  the  environment   variable
       CC_FOR_BUILD  to  specify  the  compiler  for  the build machine.  If
       CC_FOR_BUILD is not specified, CC will be used.	Be sure to specify
       CC_FOR_BUILD is CC is a cross-compiler to the host machine.

	 CC_FOR_BUILD	 a native C compiler, defaults to cc
	 CC		  a  native  C compiler, the previous variable is pre
       ferred
