The cygport scripts from various automake packages run 'gnuconfigize'
which overwrite the upstream versions of config.guess and config.sub
with the now 5+ year old versions provided by cygport.

$ grep ^timestamp /usr/share/cygport/config.*
/usr/share/cygport/config.guess:timestamp='2020-04-26'
/usr/share/cygport/config.sub:timestamp='2020-05-04'
Upstream:
automake-1.18.1/lib/config.sub:timestamp='2024-05-27'
Is this downgrade intentional?
