We have it, it is called config/arch-osname.

config.guess has the problem of not behaving sanely when it cannot guess
the architecture.

config/arch-osname return none-unknown, which allow to build pari at least
with GNU CC.

One side effect of the merge of the GMP kernel is the removal
of --disable-kernel and the new option --kernel.

You must use --kernel=none in place of --disable-kernel.
To use the gmp level 1 kernel with the portable level 0 kernel, use
--kernel=none-gmp.

To use the gmp kernel with the optimised level 0 kernel, just use
--kernel=gmp.

Cheers,
Bill.
