autoreconf -vif fails complaining about build-aux/config.rpath not existing #1
Description
; GUILE=/bin/guile-2.2 ./autogen.sh
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
So, let's force it
; touch build-aux/config.rpath

Everything after that works with my GUILE=/bin/guile-2.2 hack. It may have to do with which versions of autotools I'm using:
