The cygport scripts from various automake packages run 'gnuconfigize' 
which overwrite the upstream versions of config.guess and config.sub 
with the now 5+ year old versions provided by cygport.

$ cygcheck -f /usr/share/automake-1.18/config.guess
automake1.18-1.18.1-1

$ cygcheck -f /usr/share/cygport/config.guess
cygport-0.37.2-1

$ md5sum /usr/share/automake-1.*/config.guess 
/usr/share/cygport/config.guess
cc0f5d60f7505c777959126329bcaca6 */usr/share/automake-1.10/config.guess

467fb07b9fc0b8cf59750c8ca8b3f7d5 */usr/share/cygport/config.guess

$ # ... same for config.sub ...

$ grep ^timestamp /usr/share/cygport/config.*
/usr/share/cygport/config.guess:timestamp='2020-04-26'
/usr/share/cygport/config.sub:timestamp='2020-05-04'

Upstream:
automake-1.18.1/lib/config.sub:timestamp='2024-05-27'

Is this downgrade intentional?
