I am aware of this problem and just re-submitted the patch for it last
week. It was actually an old patch that got lost (twice). It's only a
single asterisk that must be added to config.sub.
Here is the patch:
*** ../utils/xemacs-21.0/config.sub Thu Sep 10 17:06:44 1998
--- config.sub Tue Sep 29 07:19:15 1998

Hopefully it will make it to the base code soon. configure and
config.guess were synced with FSF, but config.sub was not. :-(
