Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> make[1]: Entering directory `/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
> AUTOMAKE="automake --foreign" dh_autoreconf --as-needed
> libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
> libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
> libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and
> libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.
> libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
> configure.in:1: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl
>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
>       See the Autoconf documentation.
> configure.in:163: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_HEADER
> configure.in:164: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_LIB
> autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
> dh_autoreconf: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1
> make[1]: *** [override_dh_autoreconf] Error 2

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
