config.guess unable to identify system

[HingTat Teh]

Hello ,

I am trying to compile asterisk onto IBM PowerLinux Ubuntu 14.06 (little endian)  ppc64 hardware. While configuring the required pjproject , the following error message aborted the process. I have updated the scripts as advice without success. Hence am seeking assistance here to help fix this problem with config.guess. Please advice . Thank you.

address@hidden:/usr/src/asterisk/asterisk-15.0.0-beta1/contrib/scripts/pjproject# ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-sound --disable-resample --disable-video --disable-opencore-amr CFLAGS='-O2 -DNDEBUG'
checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2012-06-17, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <address@hidden> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.
