Description Dennis Gilmore 2013-03-23 00:26:56 UTC

Support for the ARM 64 bit CPU architecture (aarch64) was introduced in 
autoconf 2.69.  fping appears to use an earlier version of 
autoconf, preventing its being built.  This can be fixed in of three ways (In order of preference):

1. Work with upstream to migrate the package to autoconf 2.69.

2. Rerun autoconf or autoreconf in %prep or %build prior to running 
configure.

3. Apply the patch at http://ausil.fedorapeople.org/aarch64/fping/fping-aarch64.patch
which updates config.guess and config.sub to recognize aarch64.

Autoconf 2.69 is the first version of autoconf that included aarch64
in its config.guess and config.sub, but you are right: It is automake
that provides these files.  Specifically, automake 1.11.4 is the first
version of automake to provide a config.guess and config.sub pair that
includes aarch64 recognition.  This is a mistake on my part- I was
under the impression autoconf provided them.  The bug report's
suggestion of running autoreconf will still have the desired effect,
but the 'autoconf' suggestion was off.  Sorry about that.
