If you replaced the two files with the current from the links provided
below then why does the date from the script error message still show
the year 2012.  You must find every occurrence of the files in the
source directory and replace them with the downloaded file.

Maybe not, but you haven't proved that yet.  You can execute the
config.guess file manually that you downloaded to determine that.  I
just took a moment to look at the script.  I find this snippet which
tells me that your system is supported by the current script.

  ppc64le:Linux:*:*)
        echo powerpc64le-unknown-linux-"$LIBC"
        exit ;;

Replace all files named config.guess and config.sub with the current
ones from the repository.
