Who's right? Fedora armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnu vs GNU armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

[Richard W.M. Jones]

On 32-bit ARM Fedora's %{configure} macro forces:

  ./configure ... --host=armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnu ...

On the same host, config.guess prints:

  armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

The OCaml configure script tests for:

  AS_CASE([$host],
  ...
  [armv7*-*-linux-gnueabihf],
    [arch=arm; model=armv7; system=linux_eabihf],
  ...
  [armv7*-*-linux-gnueabi],
    [arch=arm; model=armv7; system=linux_eabi],

As a result it works if $host contains the GNU string, but fails on
the forced Fedora host string.

Who's right here?  Also can I change what Fedora's %{configure} macro
sets --host to by modifying only the spec file?

Rich.

Hum it seems something similar with [1] 

In resume is a difference between Debian vs Redhat , I believe the
solution is patch test script .
