"elf" won't always be there - that acorn32 is a case in point: it became
elf for 1.6. acorn26 has always been elf. I can't remember when i386 became
elf.. (In fact the old config.guess that comes with NeTraMet44b8 says
i386-unknown-netbsd1.6K - so maybe the config.guess cvs log may shed some
light)

!!!! Just realised: the answers I gave above were with the config.guess from
automake 1.7a!

% uname -srmp
NetBSD 1.6K acorn32 arm
% postgresql-7.3rc1/config/config.guess
acorn32-unknown-netbsd1.6K
% automake/lib/config.guess
arm-unknown-netbsdelf1.6K

Confusing..
