[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Any update where could be a problem?
Does emacs-24.3 support ppc64le?

automake-1.11 is used during compilation.

+ ./autogen.sh
Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
(Read INSTALL.BZR for more details on building Emacs)
Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...
ok
Checking for automake (need at least version 1.11)...
ok
Your system has the required tools, running autoreconf...
You can now run `./configure'.
