MidnightBSD (http://www.midnightbsd.org/) is an offshoot of FreeBSD
(about the time of version FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x; the latest FreeBSD is
now 11.1).
In e-mail from November 2011, I reported that lack of support for
MidnightBSD in config.guess, and a team member quickly produced an
updated release of that file that solved the package build problem
that I was then facing.
In a project with Clisp author and maintainer Bruno Haible, we have
radically extended the number of different O/Ses on which Clisp
successfully builds (now more than 160 in our test lab), but we find
that config.sub also needs an update for MidnightBSD.
I have machines here running MidnightBSD 0.7, 0.8, 0.8.5, and 0.8.6.
When I attempt to build clisp-2.49.92 on those systems, I get
configure-time errors like these:
checking build system type... Invalid configuration
`amd64-unknown-midnightbsd0.7': system
`midnightbsd0.7' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh build-aux/config.sub

On each machine, I can add --build=amd64-unknown-freebsd11 to the
configure step, and get a successful build (though not yet a
successful "make check", but that is likely a compiler problem that
I'm investigating).
The config.* files supplied with clisp-2.49.92 are recent ones:
% ls -l config.*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 beebe sysstaff 44170 Jan 27 04:16 config.guess
-rwxrwxr-x 1 beebe sysstaff 18574 Jan 9 16:42 config.rpath
-rwxrwxr-x 1 beebe sysstaff 36111 Jan 27 04:16 config.sub
Two of them contain these timestamps:
% grep ^time config.*
config.guess:timestamp='2018-01-26'
config.sub:timestamp='2018-01-15'
The config.rpath has no similar line, but it does have
# Copyright 1996-2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
There are no /etc/*release* files on MidnightBSD, nor any other
characteristic files in /etc/, but here are their typical "uname -a"
outputs:

Please let me know if there is additional information that you need to
be able to update config.sub to recognize MidnightBSD.
