config.guess and config.sub older than new Cygwin64

config.guess and config.sub older than new Cygwin64

[Earnie Boyd]

Just a note to those of you using Cygwin64 to build packages.  You
will need to most likely replace the config.guess and config.sub files
in those packages with newer ones from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/ because it won't guess your system
correctly.

Twice now I've seen on config-patches a report submitted because of this.

The versions installed into /usr/share/automake-X.Y/ have all been 
modified to be the latest upstream as of mid-July -- for all X.Y from 
1.4 to 1.14.

Also, cygport itself ships with an identical copy, and modifying your 
script to call 'gnuconfigize' during src_compile() will update them as well.

Please note that cygautoreconf() and the other *_autoreconf() functions 
already handle this automatically where applicable.

You need to read more carefully.

gnuconfigize != gnuconfigsize

That's fine if the user is using cygport but from the two I've seen on
config-patches is that the user is executing a package configure where
the package has an 11 year old config.guess and is not using cygport
at all.

I would think that cygwin64 is the least of your worries if you're using 
an 11 year-old config.guess...

Yes, especially since the output of config.guess suggests using a new
version giving the ftp URI to use and the user blindly copies and
pastes that output to email without first trying to use a more current
version.  It is the mindset of ISJWWP.

ISJWWP - It should just work without problems

That is what you get if you pull a source tar ball off the source tree.  
Sometimes there is a clue on  a next step along a path to accomplish an 
update and sometimes not.

In these cases, please recommend running autoreconf; not only will that 
fix gnuconfig, but it will also pull in the latest libtool (when 
applicable), which is also necessary for x86_64-cygwin.
