*IF* they run autoreconf. I am working on getting software built for
AArch64 for over a year now. Main issue is all those projects which ship
old, long-time-deprecated copies of config.{guess,sub} files. Sure, they
are new enough for most of architectures and operating systems now in
use but not for new ones.

And %configure macro updates them from /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/ anyway which
covers most of situations but for some we need to copy those files by
hand because authors think that they are smart and do lot of crazy
tricks like:

1. ln -sf ../configure . (so %configure tries "." instead of "..")
2. shipping multiple copies of gnu-config files in any random versions
3. shipping both config.{guess,sub} and configure.{guess,sub} with use
   of the second ones

And such list can go on and on...
