The config.guess/sub changes are already upstream (at least for x86) for
several months already, which was none of my doing, though.

"automake --add-missing --force-missing" directly replaces the
config.guess/sub.
If you've bad luck your package uses even more of the autotools (e.g.
libtool). Then possibly more needs to be done. Some packages come with a
"bootstrap" or "autogen.sh" script for that purpose (for those that don't,
they usually have one in their repository -- ideally grab the matching
version), and it sometimes even works. If not, welcome to the world of
autopain...
