It's your problem if you don't like the answers. Your "fix" attempts break
the build system further, meaning that: if you "touch config.sub", you
create a blank canonicalization script, so don't complain about
canonicalization errors or other malfunctions -- you triggered those that
you caused yourself. You chose the blue pill, asking for blitheness, joy,
and ignorance.
So to sell you a faint clue of what the red pill might have provided if
you had so chosen: a *real* config.sub is what should be doing the
canonicalization -- a blank script won't achieve that. automake
--add-missing (which is called as part of ./prepare) is what would install
a set of real config.sub, install-sh, missing, and related scripts.
The question of if the mutt distribution is incomplete is a distinct one -
and the command line you showed on Monday works fine on a mutt HEAD
checkout from the Mercurial repo.
