Sorry, I messed up here: the package being fixed is json-c, not
json-glib. So the build failure does occur on several autobuilders:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=json-c%.
However, I would still like to see an explanation of why autoheader is
needed in an autotools package. It should not be needed.
Best regards,
Thomas
