Hi All,

Did anyone come across the problem below, "machine `\' not recognized" on configure?

This happens in lirc with regenerated configure and config.sub scripts. The config.sub in original package (both 0.7.x and 0.8.0) fails too with the same error, but the ./configure command doesn't stop on it. As a result, libirc_client on x86_64 is compiled without PIC and compilation of anything linking to libirc_client fails (e.g. pylirc).

I just wanted to ask around before digging deeper.
Thanks for any pointers,

Sergey.
