configure.guess fails after kernel2.2.5 upgrade.

["Robin P. Reagan" <krreagan sprynet com>]

I have a RH5.2 i586 system that I just updated the kernel to 2.2.6 (from
2.0.36) after upgrading to gcc 2.8.1. I went to rebuild my glib-1.2.2
and the configure fails to guess the host type? I tried looking through
config.guess to no avail (It does not return anything).
I looked at my last build of gtk-1.2.1 (I had "clean"ed my glib tree) 
and found that it was using "i586-pc-linux-gnu". Is this the correct
host string? and why did upgrading the kernel break the config.guess?

Thanks.
