this avoids a problem where git sets the file timestamps differently
than CVS does and accidentally causes make to try to rebuild
various targets that don't work during the tools build.
this matches the change that was made to Makefile.am in our tree.
Cherry-picked from upstream:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=commit;h=1c4398015583eb77bc043234f5734be055e64bea
Everything except external/apache2/llvm/dist/llvm/cmake/config.guess
is patched, which is under vendor tag and cannot be modified. I expect
that this file is not actually used as we use hand-crafted version of
configure script instead of cmake for building LLVM.
Note that external/apache2/llvm/autoconf/autoconf/config.guess has
already been committed on Oct. 20, but commit message disappeared as
cvs aborted due to "permission denied" when trying to modify the file
mentioned above. Sorry for confusing you.
Also note that GMP uses its own config.guess Patch for
external/lgpl3/gmp/dist/config.guess is provided by ryo@. Thanks!
introducing since release of software to be recognised. This should hopefully
allow the builds to progress a littles further on systems such as the POWER8
which features a little endian 64-bit PowerPC CPU identified as ppc64le.
