No idea. config.guess is generated by autotools, so I don't think I can really affect it anyway. Also it works fine at least in CentOS 6.7 & 6.9. My guess is also that it might work ok in CentOS 6.6 and the brokenness is somehow specific to your system.

This is still broken in the 2.2.32 release candidate. config.guess forks copies till the server dies. Running Centos 6.6 under OpenVZ.

Ever since 2.26 I haven't been able to upgrade. In fact the install locks up my server.
I get into and infinite recursive loop where the config-guess program calls itself until the server locks up from overload.
I'm running Centos 6 under OpenVZ.
What am I missing? I think there's a serious bug.

Maybe it was something something messed up in the OS or in the build directory. Are you compiling from the tarballs? So it's the "configure" that fails? Also if you run "./config.guess" manually? What's the output if you run "bash -x ./config.guess"?
bash -x ./config.guess
