The jessie version (pre6-5) already had a build-dep on autotools-dev
(which makes the current config.{sub,guess} available, and then its own
manual machinery for updating them.
That version built (and still builds) fine in jessie and unstable.
pre6-6 was the first one to break:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=elinks&arch=arm64
and it dies with: "machine aarch64' not recognized"
That version was the firs to use a simple 'dh' rules file (according
to https://tracker.debian.org/news/681779) . But
presumably forgot to explicitly say --with autotools-dev? so the
shipped config.{sub,guess} was used, not the uptodate ones in
autotools-dev.
adding --with dh-autoreconf didn't fix that because this is a
non-automake/non-libtool package.
So it does all make sense.

Ah, ok. I thought that was done already.

What I don't understand is why elinks built before on arm64, e.g. in
jessie?

Thanks, but I'll do it this weekend, just haven't come around to it yet
(and want to fold in another fix as well).
Cheers,

This has been mentioned as a possible enhancement of debhelper but is
not scheduled or certain yet:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480576#35
so we get to do it manually for a while longer.

The latter is correct. See
https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf#dh-autoreconf_and_autotools-dev
This package uses autoconf, but not libtool or automake. So
dh_autoreconf will not update config.{sub,guess} on its own.
autotools-dev also needs to be installed and used.
I've just confirmed that doing this does indeed fix matters
(autotools-dev is still in the control file so the above one-line
change is all that's needed). Patch attached anyway, as I've done one.
I'm happy to NMU this if you like.

Bug#788321: elinks: FTBFS on arm64
Well, that's annoying. I thought it worked for me... This time... I was able to reproduce 0.12~pre6-9's build failure in a fresh chroot, and I was able to build successfully if I replaced --with autoreconf with either --with autotools-dev or --with autoreconf,autotools-dev Try that that last possibility, with both, perhaps?

I have been holding this back since dh compat level 10 is supposed to do that by default, but if arm64 needs this, I'll fold it into the next upload.
