I won't patch configure.ac. Is that an enough reason?

Did you see the patch that I sent you in this thread?

Anyway, this is what I get after applying that patch:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pgsql/git/pgrpms/rpm/redhat/master/proj70/EL-7/proj-7.0.0'
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /var/lib/pgsql/git/pgrpms/rpm/redhat/master/proj70/EL-7/proj-7.0.0/missing aclocal-1.16 -I m4
/var/lib/pgsql/git/pgrpms/rpm/redhat/master/proj70/EL-7/proj-7.0.0/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.16: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.16' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <https://www.perl.org/>
make[1]: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pgsql/git/pgrpms/rpm/redhat/master/proj70/EL-7/proj-7.0.0'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SWFIwE (%build)

You are missing a point from packaging point of view. A packager should not
need aclocal while building from tarball.
