Running autoupdate, or any such tool (like autoreconf and others) in an
SRU is a bit scary. The change it introduces to the configure script
cannot be easily verified, as it's usually a huge diff.

What I would suggest for future SRUs of this type, is to think carefully
about what could go wrong with such a fix. Mainly, that the new
./configure could detect different things, and build the binary in a
different way. Which may be exactly what we want for the SRU (like in
this case here), but still, it's a regression potential.

I would suggest to carefully check the ./configure output from before
and now, to see what else might have changed. Or perhaps there is
another tool to show us that from the resulting binaries (diffoscope
perhaps?).

For this SRU, I did a quick check of the dependencies of the new jammy
build, and they remained the same. I also checked the configure output
between the build from the release pocket, and the build from the
proposed pocket. Saw some differences of course, but nothing that struck
me as odd or that needed further inspection.

That all said and done, there are multiple build failures of this package:
jammy: riscv64 (and it built before)
focal: armhf, ppc64el, riscv64 (which also built before)

I'll retry these, but until then, this cannot be released.
