Description Frédéric Bérat 2023-03-30 12:45:34 UTC

Autoconf 2.72 (or 2.73) seems to be under preparation upstream, I therefore started to build dependent components against the pre-release [1] to verify that they can be built once it lands in Fedora.

Your component fails to build with the new version of autoconf, due to the following error:

configure:7521: error: possibly undefined macro: _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Djlfqg (%prep)

Unfortunately, this can't be fixed with an autoreconf, an update of the files provided by gnulib are necessary.
These files are usually added during the bootstrap of the source code, which is done to generate the release tarball.

Please forward this to the community, and update the component accordingly.

Closing as this issue seems to be fixed on Rawhide.
