FWIW, I'd just have bootstrap (which is for the developer, not the end-user) do a $WGET \ http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.guess \ http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.sub and then of course put these files in the tarball. :) (But I can't say how stable these URLs are; they've certainly changed a number of months back when savannah moved to viewcvs.) Cheers, Ralf
