Bugzilla Bug 150957

missing automake dep:

 * Done with patching
am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7 is missing or not executable.
            Please try emerging the correct version of automake.
autoreconf-2.59: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf-2.59: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.7 is missing or not executable.
            Please try emerging the correct version of automake.
autoreconf-2.59: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

also if there is no configured kernel it barfs multiple errors like this:

 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Could not find a usable .config in the kernel source directory.
 * Please ensure that /usr/src/linux points to a configured set of Linux
sources.
 * If you are using KBUILD_OUTPUT, please set the environment var so that
 * it points to the necessary object directory so that it might find .config.

should abort with an error "no configured kernel src found"

fix autoconf/automake issues, general cleanup.

Unconfigured kernel check is handled by linux-mod/linux-info eclasses and
there's nothing that could be done in the ebuild.

Well ... it spews the "no kernel found" message a few times, then goes into the
unpack phase and spews it again, continues, spews it in compile phase
again,continues, fails.

I consider that to be buggy as it should abort after the first time it doesn't
find a kernel (unlikely that suddenly a kernel pops up, eh? ;-) )

Shrug... Try this; meanwhile, someone might fix the autotools deps at least,
has been broken for 2 months.

I can confirm this. x11-drm refuses to compile if automake-1.7.9-r1 is not
installed.

I've checked jakub's patch into portage and ported it up to the newer versions.

Thanks jakub. Sorry it took so long.
