AFAICT, using the “dh7-style” rules files runs dh_autoreconf
automatically, and so should fix this automatically if it can
find the config.* files.

I'm aware of the problem and I will fix it for the next upload.

I was planning to rewrite the debian/rules file anyway and I will probably
fix with dh_autoreconf. I was not aware of dh_update_autotools_config, so
thanks for the suggestion.

Bug#1051907: aranym: Please update the outdated config.guess and config.sub to recognize the LoongArch

[zhangdandan]

Source: aranym
Version: 1.1.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: debian-de...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: loongarch64

Dear maintainers,

When compiling the package aranym for loong64 in the Debian Package 
Auto-Building environment [1], The error message is as follows:

..Omit
(./configure --build=loongarch64-linux-gnu --host=loongarch64-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/usr --enable-usbhost && /usr/bin/make)
checking build system type... Invalid configuration 
`loongarch64-linux-gnu': machine `loongarch64' not recognized

configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub loongarch64-linux-gnu failed
..Omit

The full compilation log can be found at [2].
The version of autosetup/config.{sub,guess} in the aranym source package 
are too old for the LoongArch architecture.
The LoongArch architecture has been supported in config upstream [3] and 
autotools-dev source package [4].


Please consider update the outdated config.guess and config.sub to 
recognize the LoongArch.

Optionally, consider the patch (modify debian/rules) I have attached.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.
