Description

The version of config.sub that is distributed with Thrift 0.7 seems to be from 2003, whereas the one that shipped with 0.6 is from 2008. This is breaking Thrift builds for us on non-standard platforms. For instance:

$ bash config.sub.0.6 arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi

$ bash config.sub.0.7 arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
Invalid configuration `arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi': machine `arm-unknown-linux' not recognized

The first few lines of the files are also instructive:

$ head -n 7 config.sub.0.6
#! /bin/sh
# Configuration validation subroutine script.
