Those particular files are in the savannah config project (and updated
very frequently).
However, you may find it more convenient to use the savannah gnulib
project, which has an up-to-date copy of config.{guess,sub}, but also
many other files. Paul Eggert, Bruno Haible, I, and others have made a
little infrastructure (the gnulib/config/srclist* files in gnulib cvs)
to pull common files in from config cvs, automake cvs, autoconf cvs,
gettext cvs, www.gnu.org, etc.
(The primary purpose of gnulib is to have common code to be shared at
the source level, in gnulib/lib et al., but that may or may not be
helpful to gdb, since you do that through libiberty.)

maintain.texi and standards.texi are maintained in /gd/gnuorg on
fencepost. Regrettably, they are not currently available anywhere else
to my knowledge, although I could easily put them into gnulib, if that
would be helpful to you.
