Isn't config.sub/config.guess really a part of automake and it is that that
needs updating by upstream? For instance, configure in octave 3.6.4 says it
was generated by autoconf 2.69, but the config.guess/config.sub files don't
have aarch64. What version of automake added aarch64?
2.69 added it, I've seen that on a couple of packages but adding -vif
on the end fixes it.
