configure does not recognize androideabi

I am trying to compile a library using android-ndk-r5 standalone toolchain and autotools. When doing a ./configure, it fails with:

$ ./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi
...snip...
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `arm-linux-androideabi': system `androideabi' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm-linux-androideabi failed

Explicitly setting CC and CXX does not work either (configure says to use --host).

The NDK docs and various materials online seems to indicate that using the standalone toolchain in this manner should be possible. What is wrong here? and how can I resolve it? (besides simply ditching autoconf and going back to Android.mk)

You can also grab config.sub and config.guess from the Ubuntu autotools-dev package:

sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
cp /usr/share/misc/config.{sub,guess} .

You can get the newer config.sub and config.guess from here

I took the newest from both, but that lead to errors, so I took the mentioned ones of Peter Eisentraut's date.

You might need a newer config.sub and config.guess, 2010-05-20 or later.
