On distros a reasonably current version is normally available in the
filesystem. On
Debian-based systems they are in:
/usr/share/misc/config.guess
/usr/share/misc/config.sub
(the package autotools-dev needs to be installed).
If building packages there are standard/recommended ways of updating
during the build, documented on https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf
It's also a good idea to prod upstream to update to recent versions to
save others this hassle.
