---------------------------------------------------

Just before emerging faac, i've done a "emerge -u world" that updated automake from version 1.7.7 to version 1.8.3

Emerging faac with the old automake worked fine

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

we probably need to WANT_AUTOMAKE=some.specific.version in the ebuild

Emerge works fine with faac-1.23.5
Can someone commit a new ebuild for that version ?

this is now fixed in cvs.
