It's time to join the 1990s and replace the backtick substitutions in
config.guess and config.sub with the $(..) command substitution
syntax. This will mean that from now on, config.guess/.sub will
require a POSIX shell. If there are any systems still running that
want to use a contemporary version of config.guess/.sub, it will be
necessary to install a POSIX shell such as bash.
