Fri Nov 20 05:24:16 1992 Jim Blandy ([e-mail]) * config.sub: Added machines and operating systems for Emacs ports, since Emacs now uses config.sub for its configuration. New manufacturers recognized not to be operating systems: High Level Hardware (highlevel, defaults to using BSD), Gould (gould, defaults to System V), Commodore (cbm, defaults to amigados), National Semiconductor (ns, defaults to Genix), and Masscomp (masscomp, defaults to RTU). Recognize the NS1600 (ns16k) and the Clipper (clipper) as processors. Recognize these processors with default manufacturers: the Cydra (cydra) from Cydrome (cydrome), the XPS100 (xps100) from Honeywell (honeywell), and the Orion (orion) and Orion 1/05 (orion105) from High Level Hardware (highlevel). If the ISC operating system is given with a version number, don't kill it and set it to 2.2; just have it default to 2.2 if omitted. Make Irix SGI's default operating system, not SYSV. Make BSD Encore's default, so it applies for all Encore machines, not just the umax and mmax abbreviations. All of Encore's machines use BSD, not just the ns32k-based ones. Make it the manufacturer's default. Make it possible to specify an operating system for a Gould machine. Make sysv the manufacturer's default, so it applies when we specify the manufacturer as well as when we omit it. Add Uniplus (uniplus), Iris (iris), Xenix (xenix), and RTU (rtu) as recognized operating system names.
