Hi,
Thank you for the update Ian. It was not meant the way every packager is ignoring the opened issues, we appreciate your work on this autoconf-2.71 issue. Sorry for generalizing this.
Glad to hear that it will build OK today.
HEADS-UP:
Starting with merging autoconf-2.71 changes. This week a scratch-build for all dependent packages will be executed. If you want to test your packages by yourself, you can execute your own scratch-build and see if it works properly. I will write here when autoconf-2.71 will be stable.
Thanks for your cooperation and hope to see very few failures this week :)
Regards,
Ondrej

Not everyone is ignoring the bugs I have been working on the am-utils
package for this.
The package is very old and it utilizes autoconf very heavily.
Most of the autoconf noise is use of obsolete macros and I have updated
this were I can but there are some things I simply can't fix and some
things that shouldn't be changed.
I'll keep coming back to it over time since the changes I have made or
(rather will be committing over the weekend) do allow the package to
build and function on F33 and build in the Copr updated autoconf
environment.
I expect it will build ok on Monday.
