Ok, I looked into this.  The distribution tarball contains a correct
config.guess and config.sub in the scripts directory.  I tried ./configure
(armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu), ./configure --host=armv4l-redhat-linux
(armv4l-redhat-linux-gnu) and ./configure --host=netwinder
(armv4l-ccc-linux-gnu).  I'm running a patched version of autoconf and an
unpatched automake 1.4.  My version of autoconf has patches to config.guess and
config.sub that were submitted to Ben Elliston for inclusion in the next release
of autoconf.  They haven't been applied yet.  Rod if you want my RPM's let me
know.
