Created attachment 527246 [details, diff] AX_BOOST_BASE patch for latest autoconf archive git AX_BOOST_BASE was broken on PPC64 on 2017-08-15: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf-archive.git;a=commitdiff;h=eec38689ce1b47910b60d4cfa1848b9394237214 (This breaks it because while uname -m returned "ppc", host_cpu uses "powerpc") I have sent the patch upstream, but for now, I suggest: 1) Remove the ppc64 keywords from affected versions. 2) Bump both versions (since only one is currently stable on ppc64) with the fix (maybe leave the bumps unkeyworded on non-ppc64 arches since they don't need it?). Note that I have not evaluated whether this may affect non-64-bit PPC as well.
Created attachment 527248 [details, diff] AX_BOOST_BASE patch for older autoconf archive versions (fixes a similar bug too)
Created attachment 527250 [details, diff] Lone fix for other extra-comma bug For reference, this patch fixes another bug in 2017.09.28: the extra comma caused all arches other than amd64, sparc64, and aarch64, to fail because their lib dirs were never even checked. (It was fixed upstream in 2017-11-27.)
