This is a good point, but I'd go even further
an call it in the main Makefile, storing it
nowhere:

     BUILD := $(shell .../config.guess)

On the other hand, the impact on performance is
minimal, so that might be premature optimization.
Also, that would make it even harder to try out
build commands from the src/*.mk files by hand
in the shell.

Maybe it is enough to install a config.guess in
a well-known location, probably to mention it
in the tutorial as other people might want to
use it for the "--build" argument in their application
build.
