[Comment 1 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2012-10-16 21:46:36 UTC]

This is a general problem in autotools.eclass that affects some packages for some users. As a workaround until autotools.eclass maintainers figure out what exactly is happening, in cvs I've now added an explicit "eaclocal --force" call before eautoreconf.
