In general, there is no guarantee that `autoreconf -i` will be enough to set up a git checkout to be built.  Each project needs to document how to do this for itself.  It looks like, for libgda at the time of the bug report, you were supposed to use autogen.sh instead.

Looks like installing autoconf-archive fixed the issue. I don't know why, though. Anyway, sorry for the noise.
