They are also distributed as part of the Autoconf source tarball. But the copies that are put into your source tree typically came from a 'automake --add-missing' or a 'libtoolize -c' you once issued (the former may be invoked through autoreconf), and those use their installed copies of those files. > Is it part of the autoconf distribution?

Some distributions (e.g., Debian) have separated the two config.* files out in a separate package, to make it easier to keep all copies updated. > If this is shipped with autoconf, are the updated config.guess and > config.sub files used in autoconf 1.60? All autotools source packages usually ship with up-to-date files; but since the last Automake release has been a while, that's the most likely bugger to hit you. It's safe to just replace the two files with newer versions; I think you should keep the two in sync though.
