The jessie version (pre6-5) already had a build-dep on autotools-dev
(which makes the current config.{sub,guess} available, and then its own
manual machinery for updating them. 

That version built (and still builds) fine in jessie and unstable. 

pre6-6 was the first one to break:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=elinks&arch=arm64 

and it dies with: "machine aarch64' not recognized"

That version was the firs to use a simple 'dh' rules file (according
to https://tracker.debian.org/news/681779) . But
presumably forgot to explicitly say --with autotools-dev? so the
shipped config.{sub,guess} was used, not the uptodate ones in
autotools-dev.

adding --with dh-autoreconf didn't fix that because this is a
non-automake/non-libtool package.

So it does all make sense.
