Well, this is somewhat odd.  The configure failure distinctly mentioned
config.guess as the culprit, but I don't see any real difference in the
output of the above commands.  I have appended the configure failure log
below the requested outputs for analysis.

Stock version:

./config.guess
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu

./configfsf.guess
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu

./config.guess -t
(GNU MP wrapped config.guess)
2015-10-21

New version:

./config.guess
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu

./config.guess -t
2015-08-20

Failing configure log:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking build system type... ../mpfr-3.1.2/config.guess: unable to
guess system type

This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from


http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (../mpfr-3.1.2/config.guess) is already up to
date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches at gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.
