Hello,

package  squeak-vm 1:4.10.2.2614-3 FTBFS on mips64el (arm64,ppc64el...) with following message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:64 (STRING): string sub-command REGEX, mode REPLACE needs at least 6 arguments total to command. that is caused by
    unix/cmake/config.guess: unable to guess system type

mips64el:

Problem is with config.sub and config.guess that are bundled with package, files are to old (year 2002).
However those files are upgraded during build process, but VM_HOST is being resolved before update is done.

This problem is introduced with previous version of source: 1:4.10.2.2614-2.

Patch that I have attached does resolve this issue by delaying VM_HOST detection until it is needed for package build, which is after config.guess and config.sub files are already updated.

With this patch package was successfully built on mips64el

Please include this patch.

Thank you!

Regards,
Jurica
