Hm, it would be much better in the long run to pester upstreams to
update to an appropriate version of these files. Are the required
changes in upstream autoconf yet, and if so what version? If not,
why not?
Support for aarch64 landed in autoconf 2.69 which was released on
March 25th
and first built in Fedora on May 15th. Packages that use autoconf
2.69 are
already good to go.
Isn't config.sub/config.guess really a part of automake and it is that
that needs updating by upstream?
config.sub/config.guess are part of the gnu "config" project:
http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=config
automake releases usually incorporate the version which is current at
the time of a new automake release.
For instance, configure in octave
3.6.4 says it was generated by autoconf 2.69, but the
config.guess/config.sub files don't have aarch64.
Autoconf-2.69 - This is entirely unrelated config.sub/guess.
What version of
automake added aarch64?
I don't know when it was added, but automake-1.13 has it.
My recommendation: Instead of mucking around with
automake/autoreconf-1.13+ and its incompatiblities, get the current
version of config.guess/config.sub from the config project and add them
as a patch to your package.
