>How-To-Repeat:
Nothing special required. Build autoconf native on Odroid-C1+.
>Fix:
Originally thought the problem was the SDcard. The problem persists over NFS. I ensured that the board has propper voltage. However, I can not tell if there is an issue with the board beyond the obvious means.
The immediate fix is to use a prebuilt autoconf package. I don't know why there is a problem building on the native machine.

The BananaPi build of autoconf completes fine. Since the problem doesn't exsist on the BananaPi, I am lead to believe that it is possible my board is faulty. I have no one to check this with. The board seems to run other systems fine (binary package builds). 

I am trying the binary for autoconf from ftp.netbsd.org. If the issue is not a fault in the board I have, then it would seem to be an issue in the difference between a cross compile and native build. Since the cross build package for autoconf pkgsrc-2017Q1 (7.1) does exsist.

I can't imagine how being detected as "armv7--netbsdelf-eabihf" could cause autoconf.in not to be generated. Everything else seems to be building fine with that designation. If this is a package source issue, then it must be a very small issue. But autoconf is pretty important.

If it can be confirmed that the issue must somehow be related to my manifacture of this board (Odroid C1+), it would be nice if someone could pass that along. That way I know that other bugs (if any found) are irrelevant to report. If the case is that of a simple pkgsrc fix, I wouldn't mind knowing that either (how).

For what it is worth, Thanks
