The problem I see is because FreeBSD-8.2 provides a NEW autotools suite
w/ an intentionally ANCIENT config.guess.
There is nothing wrong with any of Open MPI's config.foo as packaged in
the tarball.
I can work just fine by re-extracting config.guess and config.sub from
the tarball after running autogen.sh:
$ ./autogen.sh && (cd .. && tar xfj openmpi-1.5.5rc1.tar.bz2
'*/config.guess' '*/config.sub')
So, that is my work-around.
It is NOT something I want you to fret over, but you should be aware
that while autogen.sh does enforce minimum versions on autoconf,
automake and libtool, it is NOT doing anything to ensure a
correspondingly recent config.guess and config.sub. I merely wanted to
suggest that if it did so then I would have been alerted before the
problem occurred.
Oh, and yes you DO need to re-run autogen after editing a Makefile.am IF
your automake is not the same version used by autogen.sh when the
tarball was built - a situation most developers don't encounter because
you don't start from the tarball as I did. Otherwise, make sees the
changed Makefile.am and tries tries to run "[...]/config/missing --run
automake-1.11 [args]" which doesn't work if your automake executable
isn't automake-1.11. Of course you just need to autogen.sh once to
"adapt" to the local automake version. After that initial run, I agree
w/ Jeff that Makefile.am edits don't require running autogen.sh.

To avoid older config.foo files, you might be able to edit configur directly,
or upgrade Autotools...? I am specifically wondering if the config.guess
issues you ran into are from te results that we return from our config.foo
files or the ones from your Autotools.
Sent from my phone. No type good.

Paul -
Are you running autogen from the tarballs in your testing? You probably
shouldn't - we have users just run configure and make. We also bootstrap the
tarballs w the most recent config.sub and .guess (i.e., more recent than what
comes w the most recent Autotools).
