Where does this build log come from?

Apparently the log above comes from a build, i.e., something run in the
build environment (chroot, etc.)

What’s installed in the users’ profiles doesn’t matter here; what
matters is the ‘inputs’ field of the package being built.  Apparently
here ‘autoconf’ would need to be added as an input to that package.

However, that’s often a bad idea, but it’s hard to discuss without
having more details.  Could you explain what you are trying to build and
how, so we can better investigate?

TIA,
