4 config.guess \- guess the build system triplet
9 The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the
10 `build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine
11 on which the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you
12 build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the
13 compiler being built will produce code.
15 This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.
17 Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on.

28 .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
29 config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a
30 compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable
31 `CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine. If
32 `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used. Be sure to
33 specify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host'
36 CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
37 CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
