FWIW, I'd just have bootstrap (which is for the developer, not the
end-user) do a

$WGET \
  http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.guess 
\
  http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/~checkout~/config/config/config.sub

and then of course put these files in the tarball.  :)
(But I can't say how stable these URLs are; they've certainly changed a
number of months back when savannah moved to viewcvs.)

Cheers,
