But the third and fourth cp commands make no sense to me. They create an executable file in the build directory called “True” which is the same as config.guess and then immediately overwrite that file with config.sub. > > Is this an implementation error of fink, for UpdateConfigGuess(InDirs)?? > No, just a syntax error. UpdateConfigGuess: true is correct, but UpdateConfigGuessInDirs requires the subdirectory[ies] where config.* need to be updated as well (which obviously have to exist already; otherwise as in your case it would just be copied to a file which is then overwritten right away – arguably Fink could make a sanity check at that point if it is really copying to a directory). E.g. for emacs this should probably be UpdateConfigGuessInDirs: build-aux HTH and crossing fingers for the emacs build!
