During my port for binutils 2.8.1 I made a patch to
config.guess which evaluates now when running under
DJGPP to the canonical name i386-pc-msdosdjgpp.

Richard Stallmann wrote me today that he applied the
patch. That means, that anyone who will make in the
future any ports of the GNU packages should use
(and eventually modify some configuration scripts) to use that
name so that we can come to a common base. For instance
until now there was (and is) a difference between binutils
and gcc because they they use different target names for
DJGPP so making a cross development system was not so easy.

Here is the patch which I have made:
