Hi Arsen,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I had part success. A problem with config.sub still. I am happy to use
latest version, where do I download it from?
Best wishes,
Bev

That is quite a dated version of NTP.
As a start, simply try downloading:
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess
.... and:
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub
.... such that they replace the versions that exist in that directory.
That may be enough for it do work out (but note that the build may
fail).
