Source: autogen
Version: 1:5.18.16-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

autogen fails to cross build from source. It used to build previously
and this is important for cross bootstrapping Debian architectures.
1. config/ag_macros.m4 lacks a crucial comma in an application of
AC_RUN_IFELSE. This causes arguments to be shifted. With the bug,
presence of strcspn is misdetected everywhere and for cross
compilation, the build simply fails.
2. build-aux/run-ag.sh hard codes some path for AGexe, which makes the
build unable to find a working autogen.
3. The relevant callers of run-ag.sh fail to pass the corret AGexe.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
