Sorry, I answered too fast.  The fix I was talking about is for
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and AC_CANONICAL_BUILD which were not
recognized.  

I cannot reproduce your problem with AC_CANONICAL_HOST, it
appears to work just fine: automake --add-missing --copy
--force-missing DOES overwrite config.sub and config.guess.
