Hmm.  I don't see that in any of the documentation (at least now).
The whole point of config.guess is that you don't need to know your
host type.  Just run ./configure.

No.  It's just usual to do this on systems where you want the tests to
run with minimal privilege (for example, a small embedded system).

Yes, please do.
