Explanation for this subtle change:

	From: Paul Eggert <eggert@CS.UCLA.EDU>
	To: config-patches
	Subject: config.guess, config.sub misdiagnose write errors

	config.guess and config.sub sometimes mishandle write errors to
	stdout: they either ignore the errors, or output invalid
	diagnostics when they occur.  For a simple (albeit unrealistic)
	example, on my Solaris 8 (sparc) host, the command "config.guess
	>&-" exits with status 0; it should exit with status 1, due to the
	write failure.

	* config.guess: Don't exit with an explicit exit code of 0.
	* config.sub: Likewise.
