If this is the recommended way to call ./configure, should it any longer
be recommended to import updated config.guess scripts from autotools-dev?
One still needs config.sub, but playing with config.guess just gives you
larger diffs. I think it would be good to state this in the readme.
Also, to canonicalize the host and build values, the above should be
./configure --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)-gnu --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-gnu \
....... (other configure options) ......
since the -gnu isn't part of the value that dpkg-architecture returns.
