Here's a patch. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do but it appears
to make the problem go away for me.

The config.guess script in the package you are trying to build. The ones in
/usr/share/automake are just there so that automake can copy them into new
package directories. In fact, you will probably find that the scripts there
already know about all the right stuff and if you just copy them manually
into the packages that have trouble everything will be peachy.
But if only a couple of programs are affected it's often easier just to
specify the system name (`arm-linux') on the command line.
