Executive summary: Looks fine to me. I don't know *what* had been going on with this particular config in various GNU configure mechanisms. As I remember history (and I could be wrong) on X86 the only commercially available SVR4.2 product was UnixWare and it was available only in MP version, but did run on a uni. UW1* and UW2* were both MP-capable but I think they did differ in how they represented /proc. So why these were ever differentiated to GDB in this way utterly escapes me. This was also indirectly responsible for me wandering around inside procfs for completely too long when I overrode --host and got the "wrong" case on MP and therefor got the wrong /proc handling. So I think you're doing the world a favor in collapsing the above *if* config.guess doesn't outsmart us on that target. Perhaps it all predates standardized config.guess schemes and different packages just picked different representations. I don't know. I didn't closely follow UW during that era. Rodney, can you confirm this doesn't hose UW2?
