Hello,

While investigating a build issue for Gnulib, I discovered a discussion [1]
on gettext upstream indicating that version 0.25 may have
undesirable side-effects on other packages: specifically calls to
autoconf/autoreconf may behave differently leading to build failures.

The problems are:
- at the moment I have no clue to which extend this may impact the
mass-rebuild
- there seems to still be discussion about the solution

I'll probably apply the autoconf patches downstream, but that may already
be to late for the mass rebuild that should start tomorrow (and may not be
enough anyway). Since I'm not willing to push a patch a cross fingers, I'll
probably start a mass-prebuild on COPR tonight against autoconf/gettext
dependencies.
