...
FTR, configure accepts also also /usr/etc/config.site, but that's still
under /usr.  Should be fixed upstream so that --sysconfdir affects the
"user-configurable" location.
...


Maybe, if /usr/share/config.site affects $sysconfdir, configure could go
and read $sysconfdir/config.site.

This all is just an idea.  I'm not sure whether it is realizable.

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 2 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-10-04 09:34:33 UTC
AFAIK, --sysconfdir affects the "user-configurable" location in the current version 2.71. I actually do not understand what is the point of this tracker, can you please explain what is aimed ? If the idea is already orphaned, we can probably close this bug. Thanks.

Comment 3 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-10-06 11:42:43 UTC
According to the low priority of this request and as it did not bother any user for years, I am closing this tracker. If you think this issue should be handled and investigated, feel free to reopen it.
