Is there a way to get the host system type at runtime in Gambit-C? ex. i686-pc-linux-gnu

Not that I know, though you could still use SHELL-COMMANd as a turn around, and execute uname or any shell script that set an environment variable, and then read this variable. However, I guess this wouldn't be too hard to implement, provided there is such a standard way to fetch this information from the operating system. Maybe this could be given as a compilation parameter, or guessed by the autotools.
