[cfarm-announces] New Arm Morello SoC machine: cfarm240

[Marc Glisse]

It seems that uname -p returns aarch64c, configfsf.guess uses that, and 
configfsf.sub gets confused by that, so it should be reported there. Ah, I 
already see at least
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/config-patches/2023-08/msg00043.html
so hopefully it will get discussed / solved there.
