It seemed like a good idea, so I took a stab at that. Unfortunately,
our main Makefile has:

GNU_HOST_NAME := $(shell support/gnuconfig/config.guess)

which doesn't play very well with removing config.guess from
support/gnuconfig/config.guess. Of course, we could keep
support/gnuconfig/config.guess just for that purpose, and use
host-gnuconfig for everything else, but it doesn't look great.

Suggestions?
