That used to be true but isn't anymore:

AFAIK, it is not the direct responsibility of autoreconf to install config.guess/sub.  I have used it countless times and it never did that, and I wouldn't want it to, either.  So it's probably automake or libtoolize doing it.  AFAICT, berkeleydb doesn't use automake, so it might be libtoolize.  Could it be that libtoolize is not being called correctly by autoreconf, or it's just a problem within libtool?

Berkeley DB 5.3.28 when autoreconf'd with 2.69d doesn't install the config.sub/config.guess files as expected:

checking build system type... Invalid configuration `aarch64-linux':
machine `aarch64' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/bash ../db-5.3.28/dist/config.sub aarch64-linux failed
