>Release:        
>Organization:
British Broadcasting Corporation
>Environment:
SunOS desk00 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
>Description:
We pass --host=${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM} to configure scripts, but on
Solaris machines we assume it to be sparc-sun-solaris, yet config.sub
(used by configure) reports Solaris 2.* machines as sparc-sun-solaris2.

The below patch properly defines MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM based on the
version of Solaris running on the host machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Currently breaks e.g. pkgsrc/lang/ruby-base on Solaris 2.* machines.
>Fix:
