Description changed by jdemeyer:

Old description:

> Some Sage packages want to run `autoconf`/`autoheader`/`automake` during
> installation.  This may fail, since `auto$foo` is not a prerequisite of
> Sage.  Usually, the build still works but in some cases, this may cause
> the build to fail (this happens for example with `ecm-6.3.p3` on the
> Skynet machine "iras").  This can usually be fixed by fixing timestamps,
> and only patching "configure", not "configure.in".

> Packages which need to be fixed:
>  * cddlib
>  * ecm
>  * libm4rie
>  * maxima
>  * pynac

New description:

 Some Sage packages want to run `autoconf`/`autoheader`/`automake` during
 installation.  This may fail, since `auto$foo` is not a prerequisite of
 Sage.  Usually, the build still works but in some cases, this may cause
 the build to fail (this happens for example with `ecm-6.3.p3` on the
 Skynet machine "iras").  This can usually be fixed by fixing timestamps.

 Packages which need to be fixed:
  * cddlib
  * ecm
  * libm4rie
  * maxima
  * pynac
