I want to build ghc for i586-alt-linux-gnu.
./configure --host=i586-alt-linux-gnu --build=i586-alt-linux-gnu checking for gfind... no checking for find... /bin/find checking for sort... /bin/sort checking for ghc... /usr/bin/ghc checking version of ghc... 6.10.1 Target platform inferred as: i386-unknown-linux Unknown arch i586
Why i586 is unknown? It's a valid architecture. Why does it check vendor? Many of distribution define own vendor. Why do not use config.guess to guess correct host/target/build instead of reinvent wheel? Please fix it. It will simplify packaging GHC for distributions.
