The test-suite requires "fakechroot" command which you don't have 
installed, the following is repeated all over the log file:

+./atlocal: line 34: fakechroot: command not found
+./atlocal: line 34: fakechroot: command not found

Current HEAD detects fakechroot presence at configure time and refuses 
to execute the test-suite if not installed but rpm 4.9.0 lacks that check.
