13.4.6 ‘config.guess’, ‘config.sub’ at top level
------------------------------------------------
You need to add the GNU ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’ files to your
distribution. They are needed because the ‘AM_ICONV’ macro contains
knowledge about specific platforms and therefore needs to identify the
platform.
You can obtain the newest version of ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’
from the ‘config’ project at ‘https://savannah.gnu.org/’. The commands
to fetch them are
$ wget -O config.guess 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD'
$ wget -O config.sub 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD'
Less recent versions are also contained in the GNU ‘automake’ and GNU
‘libtool’ packages.
Normally, ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’ are put at the top level of
a distribution. But it is also possible to put them in a subdirectory,
altogether with other configuration support files like ‘install-sh’,
‘ltconfig’, ‘ltmain.sh’ or ‘missing’. All you need to do, other than
moving the files, is to add the following line to your ‘configure.ac’.
