Dear Maintainer,

The joe package is not able to be built on the new architectures due to
config.{sub,guess} and {libtool,aclocal}.m4 outdated files.  The error found
during the ppc64el building process is available at:

http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/libpgm_5.1.118-1~dfsg-0.1_ppc64el.build

This attached patch just calls autoreconf during the build, according to the
following recomendation:

https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build.

With this patch applied, you can also close the following bugs besides this one.

   #534817  (joe_3.7-1/avr32): FTBFS: Outdated config.{sub,guess}
   #748836  joe: FTBFS on arm64 (test)

Thank you
Breno Leitao
