Excellent ! You made it possible !

I remember that I had problems with these.
With the current patch, there is no problem while cross-compiling.
I can't remember exactly, but some define (maybe __BSD ?) was defined 
during the configure tests, but not while compiling libstdc++-v3, thus 
causing further problems.

Go to the GCC source directory and type:
./config.guess
The script tries to guess the host triplet.

The OFFICIAL GCC sources contains:
        echo m68k-atari-mint${UNAME_RELEASE}
with UNAME_RELEASE coming from uname -r

I think the release should not be included (just like for Linux or 
Cygwin). But if it is here, maybe there is some good reason.
Or just a bad copy/paste ?
