Hi,

I try to build the asn1c package, see below. But this fails with the
following error message.

/gnu/store/…-automake-1.15/share/automake-1.15/am/ltlibrary.am:
warning: 'libasn1compiler.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX
archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac'

Is this a common issue?

(define-public asn1c
  (package
    (name "asn1c")
    (version "0.9.27")
    (source (origin
      (method url-fetch)
      (uri (string-append "https://lionet.info/soft/asn1c-" version
".tar.gz"))
      (sha256 (base32
"17nvn2kzvlryasr9dzqg6gs27b9lvqpval0k31pb64bjqbhn8pq2"))))
  (build-system gnu-build-system)
  (arguments

       (add-after 'unpack 'bootstrap
         (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
       ;(setenv "AUTOMAKE" "automake --foreign")
           (zero? (system* "autoreconf" "-fvi")))))))
  (native-inputs
   `(("automake" ,automake)
     ("autoconf" ,autoconf)
     ;("binutils" ,binutils)
     ("libtool" ,libtool)))
