Changing the command-line to ./configure doesn't scale. Exporting an
environment variable possibly sounds like an approach some folks would
need, so I have added it in the attached patch. For Debian it would be
easiest to just install the autotools-dev package in build chroots
(config.guess and config.sub are placed in /usr/share/misc) since it
doesn't require fiddling about with configuration files for build daemon
software, which usually doesn't leak random environment variables into
the build process.
