[PATCH] config.sub: Work around command assignment bug in some shells.

[Nick Bowler]

When combining variable assignments with a shell command, some older
shells (notably heirloom-sh and presumably also Solaris 10 /bin/sh)
have a bug which causes the assignment to alter the current execution
environment whenever the command is a shell built-in.  For example:

  % bash -c 'x=good; x=bad :; echo $x'
  good

  % jsh -c 'x=good; x=bad :; echo $x'
  bad

The config.sub script contains a few commands of the form:

  IFS=- read ...

which trigger this bug, causing the IFS assignment to persist for the
remainder of the script.  This can cause misbehaviour in certain cases,
for example:

  % jsh config.sub i386-linux-gnu
  config.sub: test: unknown operator gnu

  % jsh config.sub i386-gnu/linux
  sed: can't read s|gnu/linux|gnu|: No such file or directory
  Invalid configuration `i386-gnu/linux': OS `' not recognized

* config.sub: Save and restore IFS explicitly to avoid shell bugs.
