Hi,
With every new architecture, one needs to update config.guess and config.sub files to recent version so configure scripts will work.
This is cumbersome because these files are huge and the patches will have to be refreshed with each release. Hence I'd like to propose a better way to do this.
First of all, we'll package gnuconfig (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/tree/) which contains official GNU config.guess/sub files.
Then add an rpm macro like
%update_config_guess_sub .
which will copy the latest config.{guess,sub} from the filesystem to the directory passed by the second parameter. This way we won't have ugly patches around.
Comments?
Just deal with it the every 10 years this happens. Or wait a bit
for upstream to catch up.
