Whenever I do 'M-x version', I see version number + ARCH +
unknown-linux-gnu.

       GNU Emacs 25.0.92.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.7)
of 2016-03-14

What causes it to print 'unknown', can it be replaced with something more
meaningful..Say, a distro name?

You control that by the use of --host during configuring.

Hi Andreas,

./configure --host=x86_64-linux-gnu

now prints 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'

Thanx for the help.



I did a little more tweaks:

*./configure --host=x86_64*  throws error

But

*./configure --host=x86_64-f23-linux-gnu* prints

*x86_64-f23-linux-gnu**./configure --host=x86_64-f23* prints
*x86_64-f23 *throws
error

*./configure --host=x86_64-f23-gnu* prints
*x86_64-f23-gnu*
*./configure --host=x86_64-f23-linux* prints
*x86_64-f23-linux*

Looks like one can embed distro name between ARCH and 'gnu'/'linux' or
'-linux-gnu'


Thanx again!
