I am trying to compile on my Yocto system from source the SDL
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15.tar.gz and by running ./configure
I got error to configure the build

checking build system type... ./build-scripts/config.guess: unable to guess
system type

This script, last modified 2009-09-18, 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 (./build-scripts/config.guess) is already up to
date, please
send the following data and any information you think might be
pertinent to <config-patches at gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
information to handle your system.

config.guess timestamp = 2009-09-18
uname -m = aarch64
uname -r = 4.14.78-imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga+g66620c3
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 1 09:09:25 UTC 2019

/usr/bin/uname -p =
/bin/uname -X     =

hostinfo               =
/bin/universe          =
/usr/bin/arch -k       =
/bin/arch              =
/usr/bin/oslevel       =
/usr/convex/getsysinfo =

UNAME_MACHINE = aarch64
UNAME_RELEASE = 4.14.78-imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga+g66620c3
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 1 09:09:25 UTC 2019
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

What would be causing the problem?
Thanks.
