It should be automatically created whenever you run autogen.sh (or 
automake) if "configure.ac" contains that AC_CANONICAL_BUILD macro.
On my (Linux) PC it's a link like "missing" or "install-sh":
	config.guess -> /usr/share/automake-1.10/config.guess

Yes.
a) try "git am" (and "git help am");
b) using "patch" you have to strip the leading "a/" and "b/" from the
   path names with "patch -p1 < filename.patch"
   (try "grep -A1 '^---' filename.patch" to see the names of the
   files that will be patched).

Too late. ;-)

For testing this autotools-based feature you have to use the 
autotools-created Makefile, not Makefile.GNU.

You will notice that my patch doesn't change Makefile.GNU. If 
evrything works I will add the changes to Makefile.GNU too (probably 
based on the result of "uname -s").

Removing existing files before creating new files/links is done when 
the script is called by 'make' (look at the Makefile commands near
"make_image_links.pl").

How long are your summer days now, 24 hours?

Bye,
