Based on recent IRC discussions, some changes were made to
the patchify script [0] and the Fedora package archive scanned
again. The overall goal is to try to find all of those Fedora
packages that use autoconf or ./configure to build but that do
not yet have the updates to recognize 'aarch64'

Talking with the X guys they run autoreconf in %build so all of their

Good catch. Al is updating patchify to also scan %build for such
occurrences. We'll have an

Here is the initial list:

Red Hat's Al Stone has written a script which automatically generates
