I should probably have said "config.guess from recent software packages".  
gcc-3.0.4's, which works, reports 2001-06-05 in response to config.guess 
-t.  id3lib's, for a counter-example, ignores -t and returns 
i586-pc-linux-gnu after patching or nothing at all before.  Foolish of me, 
I suppose, to assume that the latest version of a software package under 
active development would have an up-to-date config.guess.
