Subject: GCC 2.7.1 configuration for NetBSD/pmax botched

I bootstrapped 2.7.1 on a pmax running NetBSD.
I let the configure script figure out the hostname and hosttype,
since I wanted to get the same name when I installed binutils.

My config.status says:


#!/bin/sh
# GCC was configured as follows:
/lahaina/n2/src/gnu/gcc-2.7.1/configure -srcdir=/lahaina/n2/src/gnu/gcc-2.7.1
echo host=mips-dec-netbsd1.1. target=mips-dec-netbsd1.1. build=mips-dec-netbsd1.

Yet the installation happened  into
'/usr/lib/gcc-lib/pmax-unknonw-netbsd-1.1.'

The trailing period is bogus, and I just can't *beleive* that that's
the FSF- or Cygnus-blessed canonical name for this port.

Something, somewhere, is broken.

Maybe this works better if explicity configured to use a target of,
e.g., "mips-dec-netbsd-1.1"?
