Turns out that there is a problem with packages distributing libltdl as a part of its distribution tarball. When the Fedora buildroot contains rebased automake (lets say automake 1.15), but the buildroot contains libtool built against older automake (lets say 1.14), the recursive make targets try to re-automake also the 'libltdl' subdirectory and that action fails because the older "automake-1.14" binary was not found. Note that the $(top_srcdir) was 'autoreconf -vfi'-ed. In the innocent package spec file having something like that: %prep autoreconf -vfi %build %configure Ends with: + /usr/bin/make -j4 Making all in libltdl make[1]: Entering directory './libltdl' CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . \ && /bin/sh ./libltdl/config/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4 ./libltdl/config/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.14: command not found WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'. The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package: <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake> It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run: <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf> <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/> <http://www.perl.org/> Makefile:529: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed make[1]: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory './libltdl' Makefile:540: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 --- Possible work-around would be rebuilt libtool with any new automake, having autoreconf -vfi in libtool.spec.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I see this [1] with pinball in rawhide Possible work-around would be rebuilt libtool with any new automake, having autoreconf -vfi in libtool.spec.

Thanks, Sergio: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25983041 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libtool/c/601fea1c0968cbb65710603ac8e93b8f8f24cdeb?branch=master Please reopen if the issue is not resolved.
one test fails (in the build) : Support for older libltdl interfaces. 102: Makefile.inc FAILED (old-ltdl-iface.at:134)
reopen it because build failed
Sorry, here's the later build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1062428
As pinball use libltdl , I'm concerned about some breakage on this , but it was only one missing header ! Many thanks,

Can you elaborate on the breakage? Sorry, the libtool test failed on libltdl (comment #5) that was my concern
Ah, OK. See the fix then: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libtool/c/20511dec725523a30496f1183322f8c6658acfdd?branch=master
yes , good catch :)
