Autoconf 2.69 is the first version of autoconf that included aarch64 in 
its config.guess and config.sub, but you are right: It is automake that 
provides these files.  Specifically, automake 1.11.4 is the first 
version of automake to provide a config.guess and config.sub pair that 
includes aarch64 recognition.  This is a mistake on my part- I was under 
the impression autoconf provided them.   The bug report's suggestion of 
running autoreconf will still have the desired effect, but the 
'autoconf' suggestion was off.  Sorry about that.
