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that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because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

	make[1]: Leaving directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
	   dh_install -O--dbg-package=libmmdb0-dbg
	dh_install: libmmdb-dev missing files (usr/lib/*/libmmdb*.so), aborting
	make: *** [binary] Error 255
	dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2


The full log could be found at 
http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/mmdb_1.25.5-1_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
