Hello Pierre-Jean and Sergey,

thanks for your advices. Again I found some time working on compiling
 mailutils, but results are not good:

- "make dist" ends with the contents of the directory 30 MB larger than
it was before.

- "make distcheck" produces decent tarball (~ 2.6 MB .tar.xz) and
continues with makeutils build. But after while it ends with error

I will get the same result when I take produced mailutils-3.2.93.tar.xz,
unpack it and then do ./configure && make :

I hope the Fedora will have a better init and no binary logs
