Hello, This one is rather unfortunate. I've seen a similar problem on multiple packages, including make 4.4 (though not 4.4.1, so at least we can "simply" update). For now I also noticed rcs (5.10.1), gzip (1.12), ImageMagick (1:7.1.1.4) with similar failures. About 50% of the Fedora packages that depend on autoconf have been built, these 4 are the only ones relevant for now. Fred.
