If you check the Makefile around line 90 that gives the error, it should
explain what steps you need to do:

     89 build_triplet = It is not expected to execute this script. When you are building from a
     90 released tarball (generated with 'make dist'), you are expected to pass
     91 --build=... and --host=... to ./configure or replace this config.sub script in
     92 the sources with an updated version.

This was also mentioned in the release notes for the first 3.8 version
that was announced:

HTH,
