Hey guys. I'm trying to build binutl2.81, but my uname is giving strange
machine types.

D:\WORK>uname --version
uname - GNU sh-utils 1.12

D:\WORK>uname -a
MS-DOS CHRIS DE 7 10 pc

This freaks out the configure script and I can get nothing done. After
much pain and suffering, I managed to work out that my machine type
should be i386-unknown-msdosdjgpp. I'm running this under a dos box in
win95.

Does anybody know why my uname is behaving like this?

Thanks

Chris

BTW: I had to manually link "alloca-norm.h" to "alloca-conf.h" in
libiberty and comment the lines out of config.in because of the script
couldn't do it for some reason.
