This is the current output of make --version:

GNU Make 3.82

The "unknown" part has always struck me as odd. Here's how to fix it.

Add this to configure:

--build="$CARCH-arch-linux-gnu"


Now make --version looks like this instead:

GNU Make 3.82
Built for x86_64-arch-linux-gnu
[...]

Much nicer!


It should also be possible to just say --build="Arch Linux", but it's unclear if that would have any ramifications elsewhere, if the version string is used by another script or application.

Thanks.
This task depends upon
