Description of problem: Hi, recently, we have discovered a strange problem while building nss-pam-ldapd package: + autoreconf -f -i configure.ac:23: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion configure.ac:23: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YUOpSt (%prep) Finally, it has been found out that there is some interaction between configure script's use of AC_CANONICAL_TARGET and the libnih-devel package. And build succeeded when we have removed libnih-devel package. I have absolutely no clue about what is happening here, but it seems like a bug to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libnih-devel-1.0.1-6.el6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install nss-pam-ldapd-0.7.5-5.el6 source rpm. 2. Install libnih-devel. 3. rpmbuild -vv -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/nss-pam-ldapd.spec Actual results: + autoreconf -f -i configure.ac:23: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion configure.ac:23: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5cezSw (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5cezSw (%prep) Expected results: + autoreconf -f -i + exit 0
Seems to be same issue as #669059 which should have been fixed in upstream libnih-1.0.2 version

This can be tested via curl sanity test. It rebuilds curl with and also without installed libnih-devel pkg.
(In reply to comment #6) > This can be tested via curl sanity test. It rebuilds curl with and also without > installed libnih-devel pkg. I am not sure how the test is implemented, but you need to use an old enough version of curl to trigger the failure. Starting with curl-7.19.7-18.el6, there is a workaround for this bug in the curl package.
