To fix this, copy config.guess from somewhere else into the directory where you build weex. See https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/config_002eguess.html. For example, on my Ubuntu 18.04 system, it's in /usr/share/automake-1.15/config.guess.

This is also documented at

It would be useful to add this information to the install instruction, in my opinion.
