It always got failed when I build the code from tip of trunk. It always 
complain about the host type info missing when using config.guess.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check the code from trunk
2.set every variable needed for building on winnt
3. building

I also tried another machine. That machine works well with mozilla trunk days 
ago. But it also failed.

1) a build problem cannot be an "Installer" problem. please be more careful 
with your selection of component since that is key in routing bugs to the right 
people.
2) since people *do* build in this configuration it's most likely a local 
issue. Since you obviously don't know what the problem is, the chances are that 
you're not going to be able to include the crucial information needed to 
diagnose the problem. That's why this kind of thing is best handled in the 
.builds newsgroup where a dialog can take place.

Since there's not enough info here to either help you or identify a build 
problem I'm closing this bug. Please take this to the newsgroup. folks will 
want to know..
 - exactly when you pulled
 - whether tinderbox "green" at the time
 - your environment variables (including path)
 - your build tools
 - that you've followed the most recent build instructions, because
   they changed recently (http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html
