            Bug ID: 208440
           Summary: Templates/config.{guess,sub} to canonicalize amd64 as
                    x86_64 (restore upstream behavior)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jbeich at FreeBSD.org
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

On FreeBSD amd64 uname -p and uname -m report amd64. GNU config canonicalizes
it as x86_64. Various upstream projects may not expect amd64 in configure
target triple, so ports end up overriding CONFIGURE_TARGET. This may not be
easily noticible if otherwise the build doesn't break e.g., x11/babl.

Let's back out ports r319948 from *both* config.guess and config.sub.

  $ cd /path/to/config
  $ sh config.guess
  x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.0
  $ sh config.sub amd64-unknown-freebsd11.0
  x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.0

vs.

  $ cd /usr/ports
  $ sh Templates/config.guess
  amd64-unknown-freebsd11.0
  $ sh Templates/config.sub amd64-portbld-freebsd11.0
  amd64-portbld-freebsd11.0
