New description:
The FSF config.guess and config.sub shipped with MPIR 2.6.0 and some other
packages are very old (timestamp says 2003 for the MPIR ones) and fail to
recognize Cygwin64.
Latest upstream files at:
*
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
*
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD
solves this issue.
MPIR report at:
* https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mpir-devel/kas57nK3UCU/li5-MMsEk_4J
Other spkg affected:
* sqlite
* ecl (because of shipped but not used old GMP...)

Comment:
I'm changing this ticket to only take care of the outdated fsf config.*
scripts.
The further problems with MPIR should go elsewher.
