The full naming scheme for hosts encodes three pieces of information in the following pattern:
architecture-vendor-os
For example, the full name for a Sun SPARCstation running SunOS 4.1.4 is
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4
Warning: configure can represent a very large number of
combinations of architecture, vendor, and operating system. There is by
no means support for all possible combinations!
The following combinations refer to hosts supported by Cygnus Support. The OS versions shown are the versions under which this release was built. If you have any questions regarding compatibility, please feel free to contact Cygnus Support. (For a matrix which shows all supported host/target combinations, see section `Overview' in Release Notes.)
