Where does this build log come from?

Apparently the log above comes from a build, i.e., something run in the
build environment (chroot, etc.)

What=E2=80=99s installed in the users=E2=80=99 profiles doesn=E2=80=99t mat=
ter here; what
matters is the =E2=80=98inputs=E2=80=99 field of the package being built.  =
Apparently
here =E2=80=98autoconf=E2=80=99 would need to be added as an input to that =
package.

However, that=E2=80=99s often a bad idea, but it=E2=80=99s hard to discuss =
without
having more details.  Could you explain what you are trying to build and
how, so we can better investigate?

TIA,
