Is the automake system broken?

[timbly5000]

Sorry if I have missed something obvious but is the automake configuration for this package still working?
If I run autogen.sh, then ./configure then make, make fails with
for specfile in *.spec; do
if test -f $specfile; then
cp -p $specfile ;
fi
done

Am I building this wrong? (The readme files are out of date and assume that the configure script already exists)

Thanks
