   config.guess maintainers will most likely want -gnu. I'd rather have 
   -debian, because I consider my OS to be Debian, not GNU. But I'll 

knowing the config.guess maintainer, i actually think you might
be wrong in your assessment...

send an email to config-patches@gnu.org and find out i guess.

   probably go along with it rather than fight over it with the 
   config.guess maintainers. Then 3 months later, I'll probably get into a
