Source: bash Version: 4.4-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
When attempting to build bash on mips64r6*, I noticed that bash uses an old version of config.guess and config.sub which causes the build to fail on these architectures. Please update the support/config.* files when building. There is some old commented out code in the rules file which does this as part of unpacking, so I guess that this bug regressed after the package was switched to source format 3.0. I think the easiest way to fix this is to call "dh_update_autotools_config" before configuring so that debhelper will take care of it. The attached patch works. Thanks, James
