Dear Maintainer,

Currently this package FTBFS when compiled in new architectures (as ppc64el)
that is not supported on the outdated package autotools files, mainly because
it fails to understand that the new architectures has support for shared
libraries, as shown below: 


        configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-maintainer-mode, 
--with-exiv2
        ./config.guess: unable to guess system type

        This script, last modified 2012-02-10, has failed to recognize
        the operating system you are using. It is advised that you
        download the most up to date version of the config scripts from

        The full log could be found at 

        I created this patch that call autoreconf to updates the autotool files 
during
        the build, as suggest by the following wiki:

        ....

        configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
        make: *** [config-stamp] Error 1
        dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2


This issue and the solution proposed here are reported at: 
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build

I tested it on ppc64el and it worked.

Thank you,
Breno
