Brilliant thanks, got a lot further - problem - see last few rows of ./configure output:


/usr/bin/uname -p = unknown
/bin/uname -X     =

hostinfo               =
/bin/universe          =

/bin/arch              = aarch64
/usr/bin/oslevel       =
/usr/convex/getsysinfo =

UNAME_MACHINE = aarch64
UNAME_RELEASE = 6.12.47+rpt-rpi-v8
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.47-1+rpt1 (2025-09-16)

Ah, something happened to the line endings.  Did you pass the file
through some Windows text editor, or somesuch?

I'd do:

  curl -o config.sub
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub
  curl -o config.guess
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess

Or, if you don't have curl (but have wget):

  wget -O config.sub
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub
  wget -O config.guess
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess
