The patch handles non-default vendor strings. Without the patch,
config.sub complains for:

	sledge% sh -f config.sub amd64-undermydesk-freebsd
	Invalid configuration `amd64-undermydesk-freebsd': machine `amd64-undermydesk' not recognized

	sledge% sh -f config.sub amd64-portbld-freebsd
	Invalid configuration `amd64-portbld-freebsd': machine `amd64-portbld' not recognized

Both we use by default. Standard strings are already handled:

	sledge% sh -f config.sub amd64-freebsd
	x86_64-pc-freebsd

	sledge% sh -f config.sub amd64-unknown-freebsd
	amd64-unknown-freebsd
