That'd be great. Mostly what I care about is being able to run the build

"spam" effectively hiding any useful information one might wanted to
have seen. IIRC it needed some tricks to make that work.

Yea, might have been a bit too eager regarding the removal, I'd be fine
with leaving autotools there for a while.
