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 compiler, 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  environ-
     ment 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 preferred
