Debian coin3 currently uses --with autotools_dev [0] and hence FTBFS on
ppc64el [1]. This bug is not yet in the BTS.
Ubuntu coin3 first tried to fix this by switching to --with
autotools_dev,autoreconf , which didn't work [2]. They then also
patched configure and aclocal.m4 [3], which worked, but #698765 suggests
that --with autoreconf (only) is usually a better idea.
Should I suggest --with autoreconf, suggest the
messier-but-known-to-build Ubuntu patch, or ignore it and wait for the
official porters / someone who actually knows GNU auto* ?
