Cedric had the same problem (he reported on IRC) on OSX:

12:43 <@cbosdonnat> thorsten, the error was: "checking build system type... Invalid configuration `3.2.99.1': machine `3.2.99.1' not recognized"

I got a similar one:

checking build system type... config.sub: too many arguments

In my case the problem is that when the build.git's configure passes the
arguments to the internal configure, the build_alias="foo" CFLAGS="bar"
values are parsed together and because of this config.sub reports it as
an error.

A trivial workaround is to sed -i "s|'build_alias=<chost>' ||" bin/setup
(the value is passed already using --build).

Are you sure? config.log may miss the quotes but look at bin/setup, that
contains the quotes here.

An other idea was that the quotes are messed up when reusing the
parameters from config.log, but I have the problem with a clean build as
well.
