Unfortunately config.sub and config.guess are two scripts which usually 
shipped by upstream with the software and not updated as part of a 
normal build process and out of date versions don't work on newer 
architectures.

If you use automake then an autoreconf will update config.sub and 
config.guess but I hesitate to apply that to other peoples packages 
unless I have to because in my experiance autoreconf often fails.

There is a helper dh-autotools-dev which can be used to handle updating 
of config.sub/config.guess but i'm not sure how well it works with old 
style rules files and iirc there are some corner cases it gets wrong.

Sorry, I didn't notice your previous mail had a question right at the 
bottom below the quote of the debdiff.
