None. This file is being installed when running automake --install 
(copied over from automake) - It is not generated, there is no input file.

config.sub is of central importance to _all_ GNU-/GNU-based projects.
It is centrally administrated by the config project at 
http://savannah.gnu.org from which all GNU projects inherit it.

On a wider scale, unless you are a cpu manufacturer and/or compiler 
manufacturer, your plan to add "your cpu" hardly makes sense.

But to be able to give a more detailed answer, you'd have to provide 
more details about what you intend to do.
