IIRC, that has been suggested in the many aarch64 bz tickets recently as one of several options to fix the issue. However, to repeat, often one only "touches" the Autotools files when one really needs to do that. One doesn't regularly examine them for whether they contain hacks or other problems that only turn up when regenerating the files in an env that differs from upstream's. Some contain surprises, such as but not limited to losing preprocessor definitions or using conflicting variable names. -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) - Linux 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.62 0.23 0.19 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
