Oh. Not used to that. Please don't. It breaks build reproducibility. I
usually suggest unconditionally copying config.{guess,sub} and build
dependending on autotools-dev. That B-D is cheap, and I've never seen
it being broken (as in uninstallable or similar).

Okay. Just saying it'd be best to patch both files in the future so
that relibtoolizing is supported. ;)

Okay. Don't hesitate to ask for a test build before an upload if you
need so.
