Unfortunately I seem to have gotten it partially wrong; www.gnu.org
now bounces *every* URL of the form
https://www.gnu.org/software/config/xxxxx to
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config, ignoring the more specific
directives.  Apache's documentation is not very clear but I *think*
the problem is the last line.  Can you please delete

Redirect /software/config/             https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config

commit, and then either test yourself that

  curl -L -O https://www.gnu.org/software/config/config.guess

creates a file named 'config.guess' whose contents are a shell script
and not an HTML page, or else let me know that I should repeat my
testing?

we regret the inconvenience
