Old config.guess and config.sub fail to guess the configuration name with aarch64

Open RollMan opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

config.guess and config.sub in this repository are of versions in 2003. As a result, ./configure with aarch64 processor on Raspberry Pi 400 fails.

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/julius $ ./configure --with-mictype=alsa;
checking build system type... support/config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2008-01-23, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (support/config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <[email protected]> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2008-01-23

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

Speicifing the build target led to succesful ./configure.

./configure --build=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --with-mictype=alsa

Following the instruction on GNU gettext utilities manual, I updated all the config.guess and config.sub by executing

$ wget -O config.guess 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD'
$ wget -O config.sub 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD'

and ./configure without --build option succeeded. I also confirmed the updated scripts sccessfully run on a x86_64 system but I didn't on the other systems.

Any idea when this will be reviewed and (hopefully) merged? As it stands Julius will fail to install of Mac M1 as well due to the abovementioned reason.
