I'm not talking about the kernel or about gcc. I'm talking about random
packages that *won't configure on Pentium II boxes* because config.guess
coughs up "i686-...", config.sub sees it and aborts --- its patterns look
for "i[345]86-" (and occasionally "i[34]86-", in older packages). I now
keep around a replacement config.guess and config.sub for these packages.
Some of the packages which do this are fairly recent, too.
This is an autoconf issue; if you insist on tracking exact processor
versions, get rid of the charclass in config.sub or make it accept any digit
> 2. Otherwise the world breaks yet again when someone decides to detect
the next IA32 increment as an "i786", just as large parts of the world break
now on "i686".
