config.sub and config.guess are generated by the build, we don't
ship them directly from the git repository. Perhaps you are building
from a release tarball rather than from a clean git repository
working area? Can you confirm this is the case?

If so, can you remove the configure, config.sub and config.guess
files and see if you get the same problem?

The XFS list is cc'd on the bug, so the upstream maintainers are
watching and will see the patch when you post it. ;)
