When I try to emerge gentoo-sources, or gentoo-dev-sources, it also atempts to emerge module-init-tools-0.9.15_pre4. module-init-tools fails every time, and I can not get up-to-date kernel sources. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -U gentoo-sources 2. 3. Actual Results: Portage tries to emerge module-init-tools, and then fails with the following: config.status: creating Makefile config.status: executing depfiles commands Makefile:360: *** missing separator. Stop. !!! ERROR: sys-apps/module-init-tools-0.9.15_pre4 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 78, Exitcode 2 !!! emake module-init-tools failed Expected Results: It should have emerged module-init-tools correctly. root@phlox hkw2 # emerge info Portage 2.0.49-r20 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.20-gentoo-r9) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.8p1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/tomcat/conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bonobo crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls oci8 oggvorbis opengl oss pam pda pdflib perl png postgres python quicktime readline ruby sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
I was having the same problem, it was because automake 1.7 was being used. Before you emerge try doing 'export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.6'. This is only a temporary fix but it worked for me.
Can you please attach a more complete log?
I cannot post a more complete log, I used the work around outlined by Blake, and the module-init-tools merged correctly, and then so did the sources. Sorry. :-(
Created attachment 24849 [details, diff] fix for the missing want_automake=1.6 fix for the missing want_automake=1.6 for module-init-tools-3.0_pre9 (should work for older versions also imho)

Fixed in CVS, thanks.
