Sorry, this is 22.0.95-r1

Erm, don't see any missing dependency there... 

WANT_AUTOCONF="latest"

But latest in my configuration is 2.60. So latest isn't enough, >=2.61 would be
enough.

So upgrade to 2.61, it's stable.

I see it's masked.

It's masked in hardened profiles:

# Christian Heim <phreak@gentoo.org> (28 January 2007)
# Mask sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 due to bug #161566
=sys-devel/autoconf-2.61

And anyway that does not mean you can should live with unaccurate dependencies
isn't it?

Yeah, you can get emacs-cvs masked as well if you really wish... The
dependencies are just fine.

Fixed, thanks
