 that's in the relbr6 (which builds). In devbr6 and trunk on the same
 system it is called `config.status.unknown`.

 ok, following config.guess:

 {{{
 timestamp='2008-04-14'
 ...
 UNAME_MACHINE=`(uname -m) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_MACHINE=unknown
 UNAME_RELEASE=`(uname -r) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_RELEASE=unknown
 UNAME_SYSTEM=`(uname -s) 2>/dev/null`  || UNAME_SYSTEM=unknown
 UNAME_VERSION=`(uname -v) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_VERSION=unknown

 echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}:${UNAME_SYSTEM}:${UNAME_RELEASE}:${UNAME_VERSION}"
 x86_64:Linux:2.6.26-2-amd64:#1 SMP Thu May 28 21:28:49 UTC 2009

 ...leads to
     x86_64:Linux:*:*)
         echo x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
         exit ;;
 }}}


 I don't see where $host is set.

 trunk$ ./configure reports:
 {{{
 checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
 ...
 Copying config.status to config.status.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

 GRASS is now configured for:  x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
 }}}

 Platform.make now has:
 {{{
 ARCH                = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
 }}}

 weird, this time it got it.
 more tests tomorrow.
