| .SH NAME |
| config.guess \- guess the build system triplet |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B config.guess |
| [\fIOPTION\fR] |
| .SH 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. |
| .PP |
| Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on. |

| .SH "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 |
| specify `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 preferred |
