glog fails to build on ARM64/AArch64

[awafaa-zz]

The config.guess and config.sub are outdated, and do not have support for 64bit ARM. Without updating it renders glog useless on these new platforms.

Any movement on this? I just tried to build Apache Mesos and got this error:

UNAME_MACHINE = aarch64
UNAME_RELEASE = 4.4.0-77-generic
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #98-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 26 08:34:20 UTC 2017
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
Makefile:1148: recipe for target 'glog-0.3.3-build-stamp' failed

config.guess and config.sub are no longer stored in repo see this commit 4f3e18b#diff-41e7d4fbb64f67f0225a7aa81731c241

2 tests on ARM are failing:

• src/demangle_unittest.sh Signal handler tests fail on ARM #256
• src/./src/demangle_unittest.sh Fix ABI demangling for the GCC 5.x case. #50 [0.3.5] errors during make check #194

The demangle test fix is here: #50

[janisz]

Demangling problem could be fixed by explicitly disabling the new ABI

CXXFLAGS=-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 ./configure
