Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in autoconf 2.69. xcowsay 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/xcowsay/xcowsay-aarch64.patch which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.
Skipping 1. as contact with upstream is difficult to find. Skipping 2. as source tarball misses required macros (only ships them in aclocal.m4). Going for 3.
Just noticed that my commit access is still awaiting review, so I cannot push my fix. De-assigning this bug from me.
Sorry about that, access granted, please proceed, and thank you!
