config error installing XML-RPC on longsleep Ubuntu
#1
I've used the xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1.img to install the longsleep Ubuntu then did the apt-get update and upgrade.  

EDIT: I just reformatted my card, put on the brand new xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20161217-1.img, did all the other resize, etc, and got the same results below. I' replacing the output from yesterday with the output from today.
I'm trying to install XML-RPC via 
svn co -q https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xmlrpc-c/code/stable /tmp/xmlrpc-c
but when I get to the line:  ./configure
it fails because it is unable to guess the build type.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?  How would I go about checking the URLs in their comment to see if it would recognize this custom build? or how would I specify a build?  
I know this might be more of an XML-RPC support issue, but this has worked fine on other stock Ubuntu builds I've done in the past.
Thanks for any support you can offer.
Code:
The output message I get is below:

root@pine64:/tmp/xmlrpc-c# ./configure --disable-libwww-client --disable-wininet-client --disable-abyss-server --disable-cgi-server

This script, last modified 2009-12-30, has failed to recognize
the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
and
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

If the version you run (./config.guess) is already up to date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches@gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

This seems to solve it for me:

Code:
cd /tmp/xmlrpc-c
mv config.guess config.guess.bak
mv config.sub config.sub.bak
ln /usr/share/misc/config.guess ./config.guess
ln /usr/share/misc/config.sub ./config.sub

Please use code blocks for readability.
