Bug #14117: [Compile] config.sub missing in 2.5.0-preview1 pulled from GitHub

Updated autoconf to GNU latest (2.69). In "ruby" ran "autoconf".
When running ./configure I get:
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh tool/config.sub

Checking tools/, there is no "config.sub".
Copying in the config.sub from 2.4.2 source seems to work so far.

This issue occurs if you clone the github repo. It does not happen if you download the tar.gz file.

When using the repo, you need:

make update-config_files

If you have any more build questions, the .travis.yml file and the travis logs may be helpful (and also with gems, etc).

Greg, that works!

Of course, make update-config_files looks for an existing Ruby as well, which seems a different issue. Not sure how it would do a totally clean build.

Now I just have to figure out how to close the issue....
