Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Please forgive me since I know you have tried to explain this before, but
 I still do not see why a patch is needed at all (even if it is
 small).[[BR]]
 I have tested gmp on a G5, and config.guess gives the correct result.

 config.guess first tries a Linux only test (which fails), then it tries an
 AIX only test (which fails), and finally tries a Mac OS X test (which
 works).[[BR]]
 Granted, the Linux test fails less gracefully because it uses the mfpvr
 instruction, but why is that a problem?
