I'm unable to reproduce this error on paer.debian.org:

  pere@paer:~/src/discover1-1.7.19$ ./config.guess
  hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
  pere@paer:~/src/discover1-1.7.19$ ./config.sub hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
  hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
  pere@paer:~/src/discover1-1.7.19$

I did discover a problem with the single quiets in debian/rules, and
this patch solved the issue.  Without this patch, the configure script
claimed the compiler was unable to generate binaries.

There must be something strange with hppa.  I have no idea how to
continue from here.  We could of course upload a new version with the
quites replaced, but I doubt it will change anything related to the
original problem.
