Canonical copy of config.guess/config.sub
What's the canonical system-wide copy of the config.guess file? I have:
9c01fa8c4554cb2c7b92c95dfa0dbfcf /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/config.guess
9c01fa8c4554cb2c7b92c95dfa0dbfcf /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess
c3178bdc1506f569388eaebec2026003 /usr/lib/rpm/config.guess
d9375ba9d0b8cfd7bb6737e3fc43984f /usr/share/dejagnu/libexec/config.guess
eea34cf893bb060ee20189e256a8065a /usr/share/automake-1.13/config.guess
The situation with config.sub isn't much better:
0b96c40308f509ba2c0e132c1d2e70e7 /usr/lib/rpm/config.sub
1803a1d601bcf4debccfe2902c4f0f65 /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/config.sub
1803a1d601bcf4debccfe2902c4f0f65 /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub
520911d86319be25a97f4be9ed7e0301 /usr/share/automake-1.13/config.sub
I'm asking because I want to propose upstream that they put in a check
if the system-wide version is newer, and if it is, just run it instead
of the package-supplied copy. But in order to do that, we need a
canonical path.
Right now, iterating over /usr/share/automake*/config.{guess,sub} looks
most promising and would work on Debian as well.
