Dear Maintainer,

The package libidn is one of the major packages (together with libbsd
(bug 748994)) that still doesn't compile on ppc64el.  In fact, this package
FTBFS when compiled in new architectures (as ppc64el) that is not supported on
the outdated package autotools files, mainly because it fails to understand
that the new architectures has support for shared libraries, as shown below: 

        install -d debian/libidn11-dev//usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu
        cp -a ./debian/tmp/usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libidn.a 
debian/libidn11-dev//usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/
        dh_install: libidn11-dev missing files (debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/lib*so), 
aborting
        make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255
        dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit 
status 2

The full log could be found at 
http://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/ppc64el/debian/buildd-upstream/build_logs/logs/libidn_1.28-2_ppc64el.build

I created this patch that call autoreconf to updates the autotool files during
the build, as suggest by the following wiki:

https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build

I tested it on ppc64el and it worked.

I would really appreciate if this fix get accepted. FWIW, Ubuntu has it for a
long time.

Thank you,
Breno
