CHROOT - gauss ~ # cat /var/tmp/portage/aspell-0.60.4/temp/aclocal-783.out
***** aclocal *****

am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.6 is missing or not executable.
            Please try emerging the correct version of automake.


This can be solved by adding this line before "inherit autotools":

WANT_AUTOMAKE="latest"

Error on my side of the line: It must be
WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.9"

Done; in CVS - thanks zzam.
