Using ~amd64, I am no longer able to reinstall x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5 (probably after some upgrade), getting "Failed running aclocal" after patches are applied. # cat /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5/temp/aclocal-12984.out ***** aclocal ***** ***** aclocal configure.ac:1677: error: AC_SUBST: `libdir exec_prefix prefix' is not a valid shell variable name configure.ac:1677: the top level autom4te-2.62: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # emerge --info Portage 2.1.5_rc6 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.0, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.25-gentoo-r1-alchark-u3s x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.25-gentoo-r1-alchark-u3s x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz Timestamp of tree: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.5 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62 sys-devel/automake: 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/svn/env /usr/kde/svn/share/config /usr/kde/svn/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.yandex.ru/gentoo-distfiles http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL="ru_RU.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="ru en" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/kde /usr/portage/local" SYNC="rsync://rsync.ru.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 amr amrnb amrwb archive avahi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr chm cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dhcp djvu dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo exif fam fbcon ffmpeg flacfoomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gimp gnutls gpm gs gstreamer gtk hal htmlhandbook iconv id3tag ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipw3945 isdnlog javascript jingle jpeg kde kerberos lame latex lcms ldap libnotify lm_sensors lzo mad matroska midi mikmod mmx mng mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib musepack ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oscar pam pcre pdf perl png ppds ppp pppd python qt-copy qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline reflection samba scanner sdl session smp spell spl sse sse2 ssl ssse3 startup-notification svg symlink taglib tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype unicode usb v4l v4l2 vnc vorbis wifi wmf x264 xcomposite xine xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zeroconf zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="ru en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia i810" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
If it turns out to be an autoconf-2.62 problem, please make this bug report block bug #217647.

I don't really support people trying to use ~arch systems with stable xorg-server. Despite that, there is a patch in the latest 1.4 ebuild -- if you would like to make it apply to 1.3, I'd be happy to add it.

Thank you for pointing at this patch. Could you please commit it to the tree so that people experiencing this issue could drop the overlaid ebuild?
Applied, thanks for testing!
