For that matter, 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/tree/config.guess
proves that dragonfly is already in there as well.

I'm a little confused about this.  It appears binutils/config.guess is 
getting updated independently (iow not tracking the master version).

Is that how things are supposed to work?  Seems strange to me.
