I take it this is gmp's config.guess (not the plain autoconf/gnulib
version, which is configfsf.guess in gmp)?

Autoconf is usually very careful about problems with old and obscure
variants of /bin/sh, but perhaps gmp's shell scripts are not.

I think the autoconf configure script has a CONFIG_SHELL environment,
maybe it would work better to install, e.g., bash, and set
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash (that's a feature I've never had to use)?
