Wild guess: Very likely, the package you are trying to build is shipping
a very outdated "config.guess" and/or which doesn't recognize the
triplet (Read: Outdated upstream sources)
Either replace (patch) the versions of config.guess/config.sub inside of
the tarball with more recent ones, or (better) convince upstream to
update their config.guess/config.sub.
