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that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because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: 

        Checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
        ../build-aux/config.guess: unable to guess system type

        This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
        the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
        download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

          
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
        and
          
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD

        If the version you run (../build-aux/config.guess) is already up to 
date, please
        send the following data and any information you think might be
        pertinent to <config-patc...@gnu.org> in order to provide the needed
        information to handle your system.

ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/openvswitch_2.1.0+git20140411-3_ppc64el.build

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

I tested it on ppc64el and it worked.

Thank you,
Breno
