config.guess, config.sub files for proj-4 outdated for Summit

[scallag]

I got the following error when trying to install UCVMC, cybershake_18_8 tag on Summit:

checking build system type... ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

This script, last modified 2007-03-06, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess
and
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to config-patches@gnu.org in order to provide the needed

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

ERROR:
An error occurred while trying to setup UCVM. Specifically, the error was:

Error executing command.

At step: ['./configure', u'--prefix=/gpfs/alpine/proj-shared/geo112/CyberShake/software/UCVM/ucvm-cybershake_18_8/lib/proj-4', u'--with-jni=no']

I think the issue is that the config.guess and config.sub files which ship with proj-4.8.0 are too old to correctly handle Summit's architecture. When I copied in the config.guess and config.sub files in automake on Summit (at /usr/share/automake-1.13/), I could configure proj-4 correctly.

We are moving to pro-5 in the new release and the config.guess and config. sub are both dated : timestamp='2017-04-02', should be able to recognize SUMMIT
