I've taken on board advice received during this thread and elsewhere and
updated the patch to always use the latest config.guess and config.sub
files. I've also tested the result on one of the things I'm upstream for
and it works to my satisfaction. The only downside is that there is a
code block that occurs twice in each generated configure script, but I'm
not sure how to avoid that, any pointers? Please see the attached patch.
