Description Ondrej Dubaj 2021-03-25 12:41:25 UTC 
Your package fails to build with the newest upcoming autoconf-2.71, which is part of a wide Fedora change. Please see the attached copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/odubaj/autoconf-2.70/packages/. More information about testing your package when building with autoconf available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Autoconf_271#How_To_Test
Comment 1 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-04-12 07:07:19 UTC 
Gentle ping.
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-04-12 07:13:49 UTC 
This package (upstream) has:

config/override.m4:  [m4_define([_GCC_AUTOCONF_VERSION], [2.69])])

which results in:

+ autoconf -f
configure.ac:3: error: Please use exactly Autoconf 2.69 instead of 2.71.
../config/override.m4:12: _GCC_AUTOCONF_VERSION_CHECK is expanded from...
configure.ac:3: the top level

(https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=config/override.m4;h=d3e815bb1b40c91f23d9fed7710573f9f2623cb6;hb=HEAD#l30)

So I suppose this will need upstream changes.
Comment 3 Ondrej Dubaj 2021-04-12 07:27:38 UTC 
Can we create a small downstream patch and wait until upstream adopts it ?

From my perspective, it will take some time for upstream to move to autoconf-2.71 and maybe there is no other issue with this package according to autoconf-2.71. So it would be great to fix it downstream and propose the fix.
Comment 4 Sandro Mani 2021-07-24 21:44:56 UTC 
Dependency on autoconf was removed.
