Thanks Ben, I'm adjusting my patch to your changes.

Would it be possible to have a standard --version?  Something like
what I originally sent.  Again, the keywords are (i) standardized
output, (ii) help2man ready.

Which means that 

   @@ -62,6 +62,7 @@
    Operation modes:
      -h, --help         print this help, then exit
      -t, --time-stamp   print date of last modification, then exit
   +  -v, --version      print version number, then exit
    
    Report bugs and patches to <address@hidden>.
   
and

    --version | -v )
       echo "GNU config.guess (last modified $timestamp)" ; exit 0 ;;

should have been, imvho,

+version="\
+config.guess (GNU Config) $timestamp

I strongly regret that you didn't even keep the documentation I gave
for CC and CC_FOR_BUILD.  But after all you're the chief, and I'm
tired of this issue.
