Many packages, including autoconf, provide config.guess, but the master copy is kept in the "config" project in Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config/), along with config.sub, etc. Some packages just redistribute whatever version of config.guess happens to be included with their installation of autoconf, but many packages automatically download and include the latest versions at the time the release is created, by getting them from that Savannah site. rl> (I'm curious why patch, sed, or grep would really care about any rl> of this...) Its hard to know, but a number of autoconf macros rely on the values generated by config.guess. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
