Before configure is run, global config.guess and config.sub files are copied to the designated directories. You still need to add CONFIG_GUESS_DIRS to all ports that put config.* into a subdirectory, or have multiple copies, but you only have to do this once. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
