I'm trying to build bzr of grub using the -9999 ebuild pulled as of 28-May-2011. It looks like the ebuild modifies upstream autogen.sh to try to run 'eautoreconf -vi' rather than running eautoreconf in the context of the ebuild itself. At least on my system, I have no binary named eautoreconf, and the build dies. I was able to fix the problem and get a successful build with a two-line fix. In grub-9999.ebuild, I changed the sed call in src_unpack() to comment out the call to autoreconf that's in autogen.sh (the original script tried to just append an 'e' to the front), then run eautoreconf immediately after autogen.sh completes in the ebuild. After making this change, the build completes successfully. Patch attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Comment on attachment 274945 [details, diff] trial patch to fix ebuild that's not how sourcing works. it isnt executing a binary named eautoreconf.
disabled the `set -e` when running eautoreconf http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-boot/grub/grub-9999.ebuild?r1=1.32&r2=1.33
