Hello,
autogen fails to build on i686-linux like so, for instance on master commit
c9af27d4ca733b20f09019f1465d3e5fdc1ec724:
libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -I../autoopts

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
The version we package from
https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autogen/
dates from 2018. The website
https://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/
has apparently not been updated since 2015.
I wonder if we had not better drop this apparently unmaintained software,
but it has quite a lot of dependents:
Building the following 1275 packages would ensure 2489 dependent packages are
rebuilt
