This has been fixed.  Pick up a recent revision of config.guess from the
Autoconf CVS repository.

I suspected as much.  I'll make a point of pulling up-to-date configure
support files from the Autoconf repository whenever we approach a
major release of Postgres.

The next question is whether we ought to back-patch such updates into
our stable-release series or not?  If they're not formal releases from
the Autoconf guys I hesitate to do that...

My opinion is yes, we should..."stable releases", IMHO, fix existing bugs
that can be done without major re-writes.  I'd say a good portion of the
"bugs" are going to be porting related, and some of those are merely
'Autoconf' related...
