If config.guess can not determine your host type, then something is very
very wrong.  You should investigate why config.guess did not work on your
system (it's just a big ugly shell script, so it's not terrible to debug).

Lots of things can go wrong if config.guess does not properly determine what
kind of host you have.  So it is in your best interest to investigate and get
this problem fixed.
