Looking at configure, I don't think so. Just looking at the second result for searching config.guess in configure makes it pretty clear for what they're used: $SHELL "$ac_aux_dir/config.sub" sun4 >/dev/null 2>&1 || as_fn_error "cannot run $SHELL $ac_aux_dir/config.sub" "$LINENO" 5 { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking build system type" >&5 $as_echo_n "checking build system type... " >&6; } if test "${ac_cv_build+set}" = set; then : $as_echo_n "(cached) " >&6 else ac_build_alias=$build_alias test "x$ac_build_alias" = x && ac_build_alias=`$SHELL "$ac_aux_dir/config.guess"` test "x$ac_build_alias" = x && as_fn_error "cannot guess build type; you must specify one" "$LINENO" 5 ac_cv_build=`$SHELL "$ac_aux_dir/config.sub" $ac_build_alias` || as_fn_error "$SHELL $ac_aux_dir/config.sub $ac_build_alias failed" "$LINENO" 5 [...] build=$ac_cv_build The output of ./config.sub $(./config.guess) is used as build system type, if you don't use --build option. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer
