13.4.6 ‘config.guess’, ‘config.sub’ at top level
------------------------------------------------

   If you haven’t suppressed the ‘intl/’ subdirectory, you need to add
the GNU ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’ files to your distribution.
They are needed because the ‘intl/’ directory has platform dependent
support for determining the locale’s character encoding and therefore
needs to identify the platform.

   You can obtain the newest version of ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’
from the ‘config’ project at ‘http://savannah.gnu.org/’.  The commands
to fetch them are
     $ wget -O config.guess 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD'
     $ wget -O config.sub 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD'
Less recent versions are also contained in the GNU ‘automake’ and GNU
‘libtool’ packages.

   Normally, ‘config.guess’ and ‘config.sub’ are put at the top level of
a distribution.  But it is also possible to put them in a subdirectory,
altogether with other configuration support files like ‘install-sh’,
‘ltconfig’, ‘ltmain.sh’ or ‘missing’.  All you need to do, other than
moving the files, is to add the following line to your ‘configure.ac’.
