Whatever pills you've taken to discern lengthiness and whininess, I'd
definitely recommend you stop taking them, especially when driving or
writing email.
It's your problem if you don't like the answers. Your "fix" attempts break
the build system further, meaning that: if you "touch config.sub", you
create a blank canonicalization script, so don't complain about
canonicalization errors or other malfunctions -- you triggered those that
you caused yourself. You chose the blue pill, asking for blitheness, joy,
and ignorance.
So to sell you a faint clue of what the red pill might have provided if
you had so chosen: a *real* config.sub is what should be doing the
canonicalization -- a blank script won't achieve that. automake
--add-missing (which is called as part of ./prepare) is what would install
a set of real config.sub, install-sh, missing, and related scripts.
The question of if the mutt distribution is incomplete is a distinct one -
and the command line you showed on Monday works fine on a mutt HEAD
checkout from the Mercurial repo.
