Updating config.guess, config.sub

- Subject: Updating config.guess, config.sub
I've just updated config.guess and config.sub to current upstream
versions in gcc mainline:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-01/msg00094.html
I'd like to do the same for the binutils-gdb repo, but am a bit unclear
about the policy. The toplevel MAINTAINERS file mentions:
config.guess; config.sub; readline/support/config.{sub,guess}
[...]
Changes need to be done in tandem with the official CONFIG
sources or submitted to the master file maintainer and brought
in via a merge. When updating any of these files, please be
sure to update all of them.
Please notify the following of any committed patches:
binutils@sourceware.org
gdb-patches@sourceware.org
For one, the `brought in via a merge' part seems to suggest that changes
might be cherry-picked from upstream, while all the last updates to
those files just took the upstream versions as-is.
And while the gcc docs explicitly mention that updating those files is a
free-for-all and needs no approval, I'm not fully certain if the same
holds for binutils-gdb. The last part (`notify the following') seems to
suggest so, but maybe make this explicit if so.
Thanks.
Rainer
