This seems ideal, gcc is the "perfect" source for config.guess, if a
platform isn't recognised by gcc, we can't do much with it!

I think it's safe to put this is in $(PREFIX)/bin, even without a
prefix, this script is always appropriate to run on the build machine.

There's another script, config.sub. I'm not sure what it does, but it
seems to be a complement to config.guess. I imagine that if we install
them in the same place, all will be fine.
