NAME
     config.guess2.69 - guess the build system triplet

SYNOPSIS
     config.guess2.69 [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the `build' ma-
     chine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine on which the pack-
     age  being  built will run, and, exclusively when you build a compiler, as-
     sembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the compiler being built will
     produce code.

     This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.

     Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess2.69' is run on.

   Operation modes:
     -h, --help
	    print this help, then exit

     -t, --time-stamp
	    print date of last modification, then exit

     -v, --version
	    print version number, then exit

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     config.guess2.69 might need to compile and run C code,  hence  it	needs  a
     compiler	for   the   `build'   machine:	 use  the  environment	variable
     `CC_FOR_BUILD'  to  specify  the  compiler  for  the  build  machine.    If
     `CC_FOR_BUILD'  is  not  specified,  `CC' will be used.  Be sure to specify
     `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host' machine.

       CC_FOR_BUILD    a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
       CC	       a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
