There is no standard way that I know of, but at least the FSF config.guess
should usually be pretty up to date. It does test for "NetBSD" only, as
far as I can see (unless that's been changed in a newer version). And
that's probably the most-used script to guess system names.

Anyway, where to get the latest config.guess:

(and autoconf).

I believe the latest config scripts recognize ARM/Linux.
You can check them out using:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@???:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot
cvs login
<no password>
cvs checkout common
