   Please first send your patch to the config maintainers (CC'ed).  If
   they approve it, we'll import the new config.guess version in
   glibc.

I'm going to discard this patch because the current version of
config.guess reworks all of this stuff -- please try it out and see
how it goes.  It uses /proc/cpuinfo, so if /proc/cpuinfo says the
right thing on the ev68, then it's a no-op.
