Hope This Helps :)

Unfortunately what he said (afterwards IIRC) is not quite the same as
what he _did_.

From what he says you would expect config.guess to do something like:

if (kernel detected == linux)
{
if (user tools detected == gnu)
report system as lignux / linux-gnu
else if (user tools detected == bsd)

... etc.
}

What he actually did was:

if (kernel detected == linux)
report system as lignux

AFAIR it was what he did much more than what he said which caused the
upset.
