  70. <p><samp>configure</samp> uses some other scripts to help in its work:
  71. </p>
  72. <ul>
  73. <li> The standard GNU <samp>config.sub</samp> and <samp>config.guess</samp>
  74. files, kept in the top level directory, are used.
  75. </li><li> The file <samp>config.gcc</samp> is used to handle configuration
  76. specific to the particular target machine. The file
  77. <samp>config.build</samp> is used to handle configuration specific to the
  78. particular build machine. The file <samp>config.host</samp> is used to handle
  79. configuration specific to the particular host machine. (In general,
  80. these should only be used for features that cannot reasonably be tested in
  81. Autoconf feature tests.)
  82. See <a href="System-Config.html#System-Config">The <samp>config.build</samp>; <samp>config.host</samp>;
  83. and <samp>config.gcc</samp> Files</a>, for details of the contents of these files.
  84. </li><li> Each language subdirectory has a file
  85. <samp><var>language</var>/config-lang.in</samp> that is used for
  86. front-end-specific configuration. See <a href="Front-End-Config.html#Front-End-Config">The Front
  87. End <samp>config-lang.in</samp> File</a>, for details of this file.
  88. </li><li> A helper script <samp>configure.frag</samp> is used as part of
  89. creating the output of <samp>configure</samp>.
  90. </li></ul>
