That is not the latest version, and is so ancient that the URLs for the 
latest versions have changed since it was released.  Try: (in the source 
directory)

$ wget https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess 
-O config.guess
$ wget https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.sub -O 
config.sub


That version of config.guess is likely older than your CPU 
architecture.  Replacing config.guess and config.sub with current 
versions may be all you need to do to solve the problem; if so and this 
is a current release, reporting this issue to the maintainers may get 
them to update the versions of those scripts they ship in the release 
tarball.
