This is probably because CVS libc have a more complete uname (or what
its name is) implementation.

: Going now into bash (2.04) and running configure by hand like so:

: ./configure --build=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp

That's strange.

: Which is kind of funny because I can compile stuff (such as the libc
: and gcc-3.04 itself) just fine.

: CC=gcc ./configure --build=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp

: make

Sorry but I don't know much about m4.
