                       ^             ^ should be a backquote not a 
single quote (key left of 1 on my american keyboard, ymmv).  Your 
missing a backslash as well, --build=`./config.guess`, your executing 
the script named config.guess in the working directory.  If of course 
that script is else where in your package then, you need to point to it 
appropriately.
