There may be some features configure can not figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host Bash
will run on. Usually configure can figure that
out, but if it prints a message saying it can not guess the host
type, give it the --host=TYPE option. ‘TYPE’ can
either be a short name for the system type, such as ‘sun4’,
or a canonical name with three fields: ‘CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM’
(e.g., ‘i386-unknown-freebsd4.2’).
See the file support/config.sub for the possible values of each field.
