Follow-up Comment #2:

In general, there is no guarantee that `autoreconf -i` will be enough to set
up a git checkout to be built.  Each project needs to document how to do this
for itself.  It looks like, for libgda at the time of the bug report, you were
supposed to use autogen.sh instead.

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #110420 (project autoconf):

Looks like installing autoconf-archive fixed the issue. I don't know why,
though. Anyway, sorry for the noise.
