Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in autoconf 2.69. fping 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/fping/fping-aarch64.patch which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

Autoconf 2.69 is the first version of autoconf that included aarch64 in its config.guess and config.sub, but you are right: It is automake that provides these files. Specifically, automake 1.11.4 is the first version of automake to provide a config.guess and config.sub pair that includes aarch64 recognition. This is a mistake on my part- I was under the impression autoconf provided them. The bug report's suggestion of running autoreconf will still have the desired effect, but the 'autoconf' suggestion was off. Sorry about that.
