RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Synacek 2015-10-01 07:52:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
config.guess doesn't recognize ppc64le.

The environment-modules package uses the script when running its test suite. Bundling the script or turning off the tests is *not* a solution.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dejagnu-1.5.1-3.el7.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/share/dejagnu/libexec/config.guess


Actual results:
/usr/share/dejagnu/libexec/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2012-12-29, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (/usr/share/dejagnu/libexec/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2012-12-29

uname -m = ppc64le
uname -r = 3.10.0-320.el7.ppc64le
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Mon Sep 28 08:12:29 EDT 2015

/usr/bin/uname -p = ppc64le
/bin/uname -X     = 

hostinfo               = 
/bin/universe          = 
/usr/bin/arch -k       = 
/bin/arch              = ppc64le
/usr/bin/oslevel       = 
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = 

UNAME_MACHINE = ppc64le
UNAME_RELEASE = 3.10.0-320.el7.ppc64le
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Mon Sep 28 08:12:29 EDT 2015



Expected results:
The architecture is recognized.


Additional info:
New versions of config.guess work correctly.
