Good point, how about this?

cur_v=`echo "$timestamp" | sed s/-//g`

for path in \
  "$HOME/.config/automake" \
  /usr/local/share/automake \
  /usr/share/automake \
  /usr/share/misc \
    ; do

    if test -x "$path/config.guess" ; then
      v=`"$path/config.guess" --time-stamp | sed s/-//g`
      if test "$v" -gt "$cur_v" ; then
        cur_v="$v"
        latest="$path"
      fi
    fi
done

if test "x$latest" != x ; then
  case $# in
    0) "$latest/config.guess";;
    *) "$latest/config.guess" "$@";;
  esac
  exit $?
fi
