I had a problem with an elderly config.guess in ISC's DHCPCD which 
prevented cross-compiling.  We don't happen to use that package any 
more, but at the time I worked around it (successfully) by just dropping 
in a newer config.guess and config.sub.  Like this:

tar -zxf dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl4.tar.gz
cd dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl4/
cp /usr/share/automake-1.8/config.{guess,sub} .
./configure .... etc.
