Hello,

I ran `make check` for this release on Fedora-rawhide and got random
failures. Multiple runs seem to show different failures on all arches we
support, while no failures are reported with the previous release.
Failure reported so far are:
t/aclocal-autoconf-version-check
t/backcompat2
t/backcompat3
t/nodef
t/nodef2
t/remake-aclocal-version-mismatch
t/silent-defaults
t/subdir-add2-pr46
t/testsuite-summary-reference-log

Logs can be found here (check builder-live.log.gz):
