I'm building rpm files for gnupg 0.9.7, but I've to force the host
type in configure script:
CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --prefix=/usr
--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu

because the configure script can't detect the right host type. I've
noticed that happens with several configure scripts, is there
something changed in configure?

I have updated the config.guess script and I will do this now
even more often: GNU has an CVS with these common files in it.

It runs fine on my P100: i586-pc-linux-gnu

THis solved my problems, thanks. Now I've to discover what's happened
to my "cc" symlink :)
