I have to agree with Kevin here ...

Anything

... and also anything that doesn't have config.guess/config.sub, which
appears to be a lot of my packages for some reason. IIRC these files
are only used/needed for cross-compiles aren't they?
Nor should anything that's run their "make dist"
tarball process with
the latest tools.
Do you know which version of autoconf introduces aarch64 support?
