Dear Maintainer, Currently this package FTBFS when compiled in new architectures (as ppc64el) that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because it fails to understand that the new architectures has support for shared libraries, as shown below: The full log could be found at the package log on our buildd entries at: http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/Build-Attempted.html configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one make: *** [config.status] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 checking build system type... ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Build finished at 20140813-1139 I created this patch that call autoreconf to updates the autotool files during the build, as suggest by the following wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build You can find more information about autoreconf in the following link: https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf I tested this patch and it worked fine. Thank you, Breno
