Yeah.

The good news is that this problem will slowly diminish as the newest
versions of config.guess will only tell the user to contact this list
if the script is less than three years old.

Why so many users didn't read the error messages carefully ?

Please download the latest config.guess (2020) and replaced your OLD 
config.guess (2006 !!!).

Hi, 

I am trying to build shorten on a machine but could not configure it. Here is 
the bug I received:

config.guess timestamp = 2006-07-02

uname -m = ppc64le
uname -r = 4.18.0-147.0.3.el7.ppc64le
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Thu Dec 12 18:54:05 UTC 2019

/usr/bin/uname -p = ppc64le
/bin/uname -X     = 

hostinfo               = 
/bin/universe          = 
/usr/bin/arch -k       = 
/bin/arch              = ppc64le
/usr/bin/oslevel       = 
/usr/convex/getsysinfo = 

UNAME_MACHINE = ppc64le
UNAME_RELEASE = 4.18.0-147.0.3.el7.ppc64le
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Thu Dec 12 18:54:05 UTC 2019
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

Would you please let me know how I can fix this.

Thanks,
Ali
