I suggest getting the latest versions of the config.sub and config.guess
scripts from the config project in Savannah:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/

and replace the ones in the GNU make distribution with those.

If that still doesn't recognize your system, then you need to contact
the folks who maintain those files at the address@hidden mailing
list and they'll help you add your system.
