Hi, I'm trying to port libspatialite to RISC-V. When executing ./configure, an error occurred.

checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2009-11-20, 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 (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches@gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2009-11-20

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

As far as I know, more recent version of config.guess and config.sub can recognize riscv64. And I can build libspatialite successfully after executing autoreconf -fiv. Could you please update config.guess and config.sub?

you should simply run "autoreconf" on your system in order to fix this issue
