Hi We are adding support for new ppc64le (IBM powerPC Little Endian) architecture as part of which we are looking at all the packages that need update. I was looking at gnats-4.1.0 and found that the package has the outdated config.guess. I noticed one interesting thing that even though gnats-4.1.0 does have outdated config.guess(config.guess without ppc64le support), I was able to build it on ppc64le machine. I guess this is because configure script available in the package does not use the config.guess file. If you have any idea why this is happening , it will be great if you can share with us. Even gnats-4.1.0(tar) with outdated config.guess is building successfully on ppc64le, there is no harm to have updated config.guess. Latest config.guess with ppc64le support is available at : http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD Would it be possible for you to spin up a newer version of "gnats" with latest config.guess ? Alternatively, if you want us to send a patch to config.guess, we can do so too. I can help to validate the new release tarball of the "ffe" works well by compiling on ppc64le machine. Appreciate your response. Thanks, Chandan
