I'd rather have this crap done right than done the "easiest" way.
Easiest is for wimps, lazy-butts and NMUs where one is not really sure of
what one's doing.
You will notice, however, that just updating config.sub/.guess fixes an RC
bug (does not build on MIPS/MIPSEL) but does not fixes a normal bug (does
not abide to policy 'should' rule). It is NOT as good a solution as the
other ones.
And it will require a new update to the package the next time config.guess
breaks.
