Can we update the project to adapte riscv platform

[alongL]

When I compile this project in riscv-64 ubuntu, I must use command like this, or the configure will show error

./configure --build=riscv64

error:

config.guess timestamp = 2016-05-15

uname -m = riscv64
uname -r = 4.15.0-76-generic

shell we update the posix/config.guess and posix/config.sub to support riscv platform? more info see this link. https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/issues/755#issuecomment-850878871

Anyone using this in practice, or is this an academic exercise?

fedora use this for riscv version.
https://dl02.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/logs/libsrtp-1.5.4-3.fc25.src.rpm/build.log the command they used:

./configure --build=riscv64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=riscv64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info

Quick question why do you still build a 1.5 version ? Please update to 1.6 or even better drop 1.x and include only 2.4 .

Currently there is no one with a lot of auto tools experiencing on the team so the best would be if you create a pull request and as long as it does not break existing builds it should be OK.
