If you have old config.sub and config.guess on your build machine, the
AVR32 architecture is not present, thus the ./configure step will fail
to identify the architecture.

Most recent Linux distributions seems to have updated the config.guess
and config.sub to latest versions. So the problem is not that big. And
if you're developing against an AVR32 target, then you are most likely
working a more recent Linux distribution.

It was more a comment than a NACK to the commit. Strace works fine
(with the AVR32 patch) for me after you removed the files from CVS.
