This script, last modified 2012-06-10, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and

For the config.guess files, there are:
./acl/build-aux/config.guess
./attr/config.guess
./e2fsprogs-libs/config/config.guess
./popt/config.guess
Replace the config.guess / config.sub in attr/ with the suggested new version can fix this issue.
