But the guess is OK,
it guesses i786-pc-msdosdjgpp
which is perfectly OK.
 The problem is that the i786
is not handled by the configure 
and configure.in scripts,
all djgpp specific stuff 
(like not searching for tgetent)
are handled by 
  i[3456]86-*-msdosdjgpp
patterns and
i786-pc-msdosdjgpp does not match that pattern.
