Yep, that looks wrong. If that is the case block I think it is, the Haiku
case is already listed, BTW (several lines later).
Anyway, I'd recommend not to edit generated files (like config.guess,
config.sub, ltmain.sh,...) in the first place -- use the auto tools to
replace them instead -- and also not to include them in patches. Rather
document how to run which of the auto tools to replace them.
CU, Ingo
