bash: Specifying the System Type

1 10.5 Specifying the System Type
1 ===============================
1 
1 There may be some features 'configure' can not figure out automatically,
1 but need to determine by the type of host Bash will run on.  Usually
1 'configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a message saying it
1 can not guess the host type, give it the '--host=TYPE' option.  'TYPE'
1 can either be a short name for the system type, such as 'sun4', or a
1 canonical name with three fields: 'CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM' (e.g.,
1 'i386-unknown-freebsd4.2').

1    See the file 'support/config.sub' for the possible values of each
1 field.
