There are thousands of copies of config.guess/sub (or configure scripts)
out there (in tarballs) with no support for this at all. Once it is
added to config.guess/sub in git (or autoconf) then it will take many
years before the majority of copies of config.guess/sub (or configure
scripts) have support for this. This is what I mean by bootstrap phase.
