So we cannot change to *-*-solaris10 until the product is released. At that time, the will be a considerable number of packages supporting SunOS 5.10 in various ways (I've personally contributed to GCC, am-utils, and ntp), and all of them would have to change again to accomodate the new name. This is a completely unnecessary waste of effort, as is this whole discussion. Fortunately, nobody so far proposed to change alpha*-dec-osf* to alpha*-compaq-osf* to alpha*-compaq-tru64* to alpha*-hp-tru64*... to match Compaq purchasing DEC, the O/S name change and the Compaq/HP merger (and Paul Eggert doesn't seem to be using the platform to worry about this ;-). As you can clearly see from this example, the proposed change is utterly absurd. Rainer
