Your package is broken, resp. the upstream tarball is broken. A
tarball user running the configure script should not need autotools
for building the software.

You don't "BuildRequires: automake" either:

http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-6-extras/36512-pikloops-0.2.4-1.fc6/ppc/root.log

Hence it isn't available in the buildroot. And that is not specific
to ppc.

Fedora Core 6 includes automake-1.9.6-2.1 which would suffice:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/source/SRPMS/automake-1.9.6-2.1.src.rpm

Huh? It's the same as for all other archs, of course.
