Describe the bug

When I try to build on ARM based Amazon Linux 2, the following error is dropped:
configure: error: in /tmp/erlang-rpm-25.3/BUILD/otp-OTP-25.3/erts': configure: error: --enable-systemd was given, but test for systemd failed See config.log' for more details
ERROR: /tmp/erlang-rpm-25.3/BUILD/otp-OTP-25.3/erts/configure failed!
./configure: line 370: kill: (-9719) - No such process
error: Bad exit status from /tmp/erlang-rpm-25.3/tmp/rpm-tmp.uzzGXg (%build)

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /tmp/erlang-rpm-25.3/tmp/rpm-tmp.uzzGXg (%build)
make: *** [erlang] Error 1

I cannot really find anything obvious in the config.log file

Reproduction steps

  1. Download https://github.com/rabbitmq/erlang-rpm/archive/refs/tags/v25.3.tar.gz
  2. Untar the archive
  3. Change the directory to the unarchived folder
  4. make (as per the README)

Expected behavior

To get Erlang built and ready to be used by RabbitMQ

Additional context

Want to install and use RabbitMQ on ARM based Amazon Linux 2 server

Amazon Linux 2 is based on CentOS 7, an operating system this RPM and RabbitMQ no longer supports.

Amazon Linux 2023 is Fedora-based. Binary builds of this RPM certainly run just fine on it.

The oldest Erlang/OTP release that was compatible with CentOS 7 and OpenSSL 1.0 was 23.3.4.11.

It fails on Amazon Linux 3 too:
