Also, it would be best if you could test this change also on a cross-compiler, a Canadian cross, and maybe even a host-x-host (i.e. host != build, but build == target) configuration. Be sure to use non-canonical names (i.e. names that config.sub will change). :-) Personally I would not be against this change even if it breaks some configurations, as long as it is known *which*.
