Autoconf 2.13 has been released today (DejaNews refuses to give me a
permanent URL for the announcement, so you'll have to feed

http://www.dejanews.com/forms/mid.shtml for it); it's NEWS includes:
:* Merge of the FSF version of config.guess and config.sub to modernise
: these scripts. Add support for a few new hosts in config.guess.
and it's config.guess has
armlinux) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-unknown-linux-gnuaout" ; exit 0 ;;
