4config.guess \- guess the build system triplet
5
6[Environment variables]
7config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a
8compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable
9`CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine.  If
10`CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used.  Be sure to
11specify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host'
12machine.
13
14  CC_FOR_BUILD    a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
15  CC              a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred

17[description]
18The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the
19`build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine
20on which the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you
21build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the
22compiler being built will produce code.
23
24This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.
