Mixing use of autotools-utils.eclass with regular phase functions and/or random econf/emake calls is unsupported and it never was. And in a near future, it will cause fatal errors during the build process. Please fix it by using correct autotools-utils phase functions as pointed out in the example on top of the eclass and/or its manpage. If you have any trouble, feel free to ping us and we'll help you fix it. Thanks.
Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. + 15 Dec 2011; Thomas Beierlein <tomjbe@gentoo.org> hamlib-1.2.14.ebuild: + Use only autotools-utils functions. Bug #392101 +
