Description Jonathan Callen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-11-27 00:40:27 UTC 
when calling help2man in the ebuild for sys-devel/automake, automake attempts to use the previously installed version of the internal perl libraries for automake, which fails when automake is not already installed

To easily fix this, change the line:
    help2man ./${x} > ${x}-${SLOT}.1
to instead read:
    help2man "perl -Ilib ${x}" > ${x}-${SLOT}.1
