That's what I was afraid of.  Many packages don't use config.guess, but 
some very important ones, like GCC, Binutils, and GDB do use it.

If many packages need to update config.guess, then I tend to postpone 
this change for a while, and let config.guess be updated first.

I would like to hear opinions about whether we should change `uname' now 
or leave it for the next DJGPP release (i.e. 2.04).
