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	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 spec-
       ify ‘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
