The error actually says the host TYPE is unknown.

Depending on how similar it is to supported systems, it might be
quite simple to port.  The first step would be patch config.guess/sub
to recongize the platform.  Or, in the short term, you could replace
both with a simple script that echos a hardware, vendor, operating
system triple appropriate for the platform (this is usually derived
from the output of uname(1) command).
	#!/bin/sh
	echo "unknown-tandem-oss"
	exit 0

This will at least get you past the unknown host type error.
