old automake vs. cygwin64 [Was: Automake 1.9 bug: config.guess does not recognize Cygwin64]

  Hello! I've just stumbled accross a bug in Automake v1.9 package. I was
trying to regenerate files in a source tree which sets automake version to
1.9. 'automake -icf' has copied files, but config.guess bundled with this
version of automake appears to not know 64-bit Cygwin. Please fix.

I'm planning to respin all of the [64bit] automake-* packages. Should I update the included config.guess/config.sub in each of them to the latest version (which supports cygwin64), even for ancient automake like 1.4p6?

If not, then should I update ANY of the config.guess/config.subs in the non-latest automake? How "far back" should I propagate the latest config.* -- 1.9? 1.8?
