Brought across from the TODO file:

Add alpha OSF nm format.
Add HPPA rename hppa directory to pa32.
Add IRIX 6.5 as not liking .byte in text section.
Add m88k for non-underscore systems.

 <li> Alpha ev67 and ev68: Recognise these in config.guess, the same as recent
      configfsf.guess does.  (Not that we've got anything specific for them
      right now.)
+<li> Alpha: On OSF the nm format is not recognised by
+     <code>GMP_ASM_LSYM_PREFIX</code>.  We end up falling back on
+     <code>L</code> which is probably right, but it might be desirable to
+     recognise the format, or try to jam it into BSD mode or whatever.
+<li> HPPA: rename `hppa' =&gt; `pa32'.
+<li> HPPA: Combine the pa64 and pa64w directories.
 <li> HPPA: config.guess should recognize 7000, 7100, 7200, and 8x00.
 <li> HPPA 2.0w: gcc is rumoured to support 2.0w as of version 3, though
      perhaps just as a build-time choice.  In any case, figure out how to
      identify a suitable gcc or put it in the right mode, for the GMP compiler
      choices.
+<li> Mips: Rename `mips2' =&gt; `mips32' and `mips3' =&gt; `mips64'.
 <li> Mips: config.guess should say mipsr3000, mipsr4000, mipsr10000, etc.
      "hinv -c processor" gives lots of information on Irix.  Standard
      config.guess etc append "el" to indicate endianness, but GMP probably
      doesn't care about endianness and could forget about that.
+<li> Mips: IRIX 6.5 "as" doesn't like the <code>.byte</code> used in
+     <code>GMP_ASM_LSYM_PREFIX</code> because it's data being emitted in the
+     text section.  It also complains about lacking
+     <code>.ent</code>/<code>.end</code> directives.  The <code>L</code> is
+     probably right, but perhaps the test should be improved.
 <li> Power: config.guess might be able to use AIX 4
      <code>_system_configuration.implementation</code> for more accurate CPU
      determination.
