Inexplicably, patch 1 does not seem to have reached the list, although I 
have tried sending it twice.  Fortunately, patch 1 was an entirely 
automated patch and the text of the program that produced it can be 
extracted from patch 8 if it does not turn up after being stuck in a 
queue somewhere.

The only important detail from the commit message on patch 1 was this 
ChangeLog entry:

* config.guess: add GUESS variable to hold results of uname analysis
