Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 00:09:28 UTC 
Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  brltty appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/brltty/brltty-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-03-25 13:35:10 UTC 
I tried to rebuild in mock and it seems it works with the current version (brltty-4.3-13), the proof:
$ grep -m 1 'Autoconf 2.69' ./configure
# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.

Feel free to reopen if the problem persist.
