HTH,

In config.guess GNU config.guess (2001-09-04) there is a simple
problem with identification of IBM's POWER processors. I have checked
and the problem exists in the current working archive too.
The
problem is due to an extra space in a grep statement, that is grep ' POWER'
instead of grep 'POWER' when determining the result of a test for which
processor.
review line 510 of above config.guess
The test for
processor /usr/sbin/lsattr -El ${IBM_CPU_ID}
returns
state
enable Processor state
False
type PowerPC_POWER3 Processor
type False
frequency 333000000
Processor Speed False
but the test
if /usr/sbin/lsattr -El
${IBM_CPU_ID} | grep ' POWER' >/dev/null
2>&1;
then
IBM_ARCH=rs6000
else
IBM_ARCH=powerpc
will return powerpc rather than rs6000.
Older
version of config.guess performed grep POWER
Hence this is a simple fix
to make (remove the space), with the test being easily demonstrated by
the /usr/sbin/lsattr command and running config.guess itself.
The
corrected config.guess should return
rs6000-ibm-aix5.0.0.0
on
the current AIX 5L platform running on a RS6000 and not the currently
incorrect
powerpc-ibm-aix5.0.0.0
Please contact me if you need
further details or assistance.
