Description
Hi all,
The 'support/compile' and 'support/missing' files do not exist, which causes 'configure' to fail. I added these as empty files and all went well.
I also encountered a problem with 'make' trying to use multiple threads. After i set the '-j1' flag for make, all was okay. Perhaps a note in the INSTALL file might be helpful ?
Finally, I needed to patch 'Makefile.in' to honour a potential DESTDIR setting when installing.
I'm using Archlinux. The PKGBUILD and patchfile can be found attached, if of interest. The patchfile applies with 'fuzz' but shows where I've put the DESTDIR variable.
Thanks for producing this wonderful package,
Regards.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with configure and make, then inspect support/compile, support/missing, INSTALL, and Makefile.in. Review the attached PKGBUILD and patchfile for the reported fixes. Done means configure succeeds without manually creating files, the build behavior is documented or corrected, and installation honors DESTDIR.
