Dear Maintainer,

The package ticcutils 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because the config.{guess,sub} and libtool files are out of date, and are not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.

	cp: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/usr/lib/libticcutils.so': No such file or directory
	dh_install: cp -a debian/tmp/usr/lib/libticcutils.so debian/libticcutils2-dev//usr/lib/ returned exit code 1
	make: *** [binary-install/libticcutils2-dev] Error 2

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
reference:
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build

Thank you,
Breno
