In general send config.guess problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think if you move AC_CANONICAL_HOST after AC_PROG_CC, then
config.guess will automatically pick up the right compiler.
If this is a real constraint then it should be handled via AC_BEFORE
in autoconf.

Really it seems like config.guess could give a better message in this
case.
