Of course, it is possible to build the tools with 
--build=m68k-atari-mint. However, the job of config.guess is to guess 
the correct host triplet in order to automatically use it.

Linux uses i486-linux-gnu (on my Debian system)
Cygwin uses i686-pc-cygwin
MiNT usually use m68k-atari-mint for the cross-tools

I can hardly understand why something like m68k-atari-mint1.16 could be 
usefull. Maybe if the different versions of the kernel would be 
completely incompatible ? As far as I know, it is not the case.

Thus, it seems to me that the patch proposed by MiKRO is a good thing. 
However, the trailing ${UNAME_RELEASE} may have been put there 
intentionally. In that case, whe have to discover why.

Note that this stuff has been in the official config.guess of GCC since 
Sat May 22 05:17:55 1999. See the log here:
