Dear Maintainer,

The package timblserver fails to build on ppc64el, as on new architectures,
because the config.{guess,sub} and libtool files are out of date, and are not
updated during the build, causing the following error, because shared library
is not generated.

	/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++  -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall  -I/usr/include/libxml2  -fopenmp  -fopenmp  -Wl,-z,relro -o timblserver TimblServer.o libtimblserver.la -lpthread  -ltimbl  -lticcutils 
	libtool: link: g++ -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -I/usr/include/libxml2 -fopenmp -fopenmp -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -o timblserver TimblServer.o  ./.libs/libtimblserver.a -lpthread -ltimbl -lticcutils -fopenmp
	/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libtimblserver.a(ServerBase.o): undefined reference to symbol 'xmlNewNode@@LIBXML2_2.4.30'
	//usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
	collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I just created a patch that enables the package to be reconfigured during the
build process, so, updating the libtool files. I am using the following URL as

Thank you,
