Yes, GNATS 4.1.0 is very outdated. The code in CVS is close to
release-worthy, or it was a few years ago. Honestly, the project has
stalled. Regardless, try checking out HEAD from CVS and let me know if
that works for you. I believe I updated config.guess last year.

I'll see what I can do to spare some time to work on GNATS in the
upcomig weeks. Since I don't use the software on a daily basis
anymore. We could us a new maintainer who would like to see GNATS
continue on.
