Almost there! :-)

1) Comment in config.sub identifies it as config.guess.

2) As as understand it, your first attempt is to just dispatch through 
to autoconf-config.sub if there is no aarch64 arguments. Good! However, 
the code could be made clearer: The dot is small and some comment 
clarifying that we will exit after this line might be helpful to the 
reader. Also, you're using a $sub_args which is not defined. This will 
not break, but it makes the reader confused. (I suspect copy/paste glitch.)

3) The webrev indicates that the original config.sub was renamed to 
config.sub.orig, instead of autoconf-config.sub. But since that is how 
it is called in the new config.sub wrapper, the patch is unlikely to 
work. When you test this, make sure you have no lingering files in your 
workspace that can mess up the results. (e.g. no "?" files in hg status).
