Removal of config.sub and config.guess


Hi,

The recent patch to remove config.sub and config.guess from the libffi source repository has implications beyond simply running autogen.sh.

Prior to their removal the files in the tree corresponded to upstream gnu config versions dated ~ 2013-04-24.

The most recent distribution of the autoconf package is autoconf-2.69, this package distributes config.sub and config.guess dated 2012-04-18 2012-02-10.

The implication of this is that removing config.sub and config.guess from the source tree in favour of executing autoreconf does not result in equivalent functionality.

This change has effectively removed support for aarch64.

I would like to see these files re-instated.

Cheers
/Marcus
