Or more properly it could be fixed by BuildRequiring it as you _know_ that 
you'll need to run autoconf.  Assuming that a version of autoconf/make is 
already in the buildroot that would be suitable for your needs is a bad 
assumption to make.  It's a bummer your package broke, but its a good time to 
fix your package.
