Hello Logan,
If this is a generic issue, IMO it should be fixed in a generic way as suggested here [1].
Whereas there seem to be two possibilities: either run dh_autoreconf or patch libtool
generated files.
Touching all source packages with a libtool/autotools build system to introduce a new
architecture sounds suboptimal to me (especially knowing, that updating the build system
files can lead to FTBFS too - now or in the future). Can you please jump into the discussion
at #733045 [1] too?
JFTR: I could imagine this generic approach: enable/run dh_autoreconf by default and allow
package maintainers to specificly disable it using the --without switch of dh.
Regards, Daniel

Betreff: [Debichem-devel] Bug#734559: libxc: use dh-autoreconf to fix FTBFS on ppc64el
Package: libxc
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com

Dear Maintainer,
For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary. This is because we need new libtool macros for
ppc64el.
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* Use dh-autoreconf to fix FTBFS on ppc64el.
Thanks for considering the patch.
