I have tried this of course. I have inserted a line "i386-pc-qnx4=qnx4" into
template/.similar. But the line
GUESS=`grep "^$host=" template/.similar | sed 's/^.*=//' | tail -1`
in configure returns only "nx4" but not "qnx4". This is because "tail -1"
fails on QNX. So you have the following choices:

1. Remove this " | tail -1" in configure[.in], insert the line
"i386-pc-qnx4=qnx4" into "template/.similar" and name the file
"template/qnx4".
2. Name it "template/i386-pc-qnx4" (from $host).
3. Name it "template/QNX" (from "uname -s").
4. Insert the line "i386-pc-qnx4=qnx4" into "template/.similar" and name it
"template/nx4"
5. Always force to use the --with-template option.

I would not recommend solution 4 since it relies on a bug which might be
fixed in other QNX releases.
