Created attachment 425270 [details] build.log The build fails with the below error. I believe this may be a missing DEPEND on 'sys-apps/texinfo' (which provides `makeinfo` according to e-file). Installing texinfo (which also pulled in other dependencies) resolved the build issue. if /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/bison-3.0.4-r1/work/bison-3.0.4/build-aux/missing makeinfo --no-split -I doc -I ./doc \ -o doc/bison.info ./doc/bison.texi; \ then \ rc=0; \ CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd .; \ else \ rc=$?; \ CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && \ $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./doc/bison.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \ fi; \ rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/bison-3.0.4-r1/work/bison-3.0.4/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.

the info pages shouldn't be regenerated. it isn't running makeinfo on my system. if it happens for you every time, try going into the build dir and run: $ make doc/bison.info if that fails, run: $ make -d doc/bison.info >& log and attach that log file here.
Created attachment 425360 [details] bison-3.0.4-r1.make_bison_info.log.xz Yes this fails consistently. Attempting to make bison.info also failed. This is the log as requested.
what does `mount` show ? what do these commands show: $ ls -l doc/bison.texi $ cat doc/version.texi $ grep ^VERSION Makefile
Created attachment 425362 [details] mount.txt With regards to the mount details, it's worth noting this is running within an LXC container (a testing environment). amd64-testing bison-3.0.4 # ls -l doc/bison.texi -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 472493 Jan 23 2015 doc/bison.texi amd64-testing bison-3.0.4 # cat doc/version.texi @set UPDATED 23 January 2015 @set UPDATED-MONTH January 2015 @set EDITION 3.0.4 @set VERSION 3.0.4 amd64-testing bison-3.0.4 # grep ^VERSION Makefile VERSION = 3.0.4
this is a bad line from your log: Updating ./doc/version.texi that's why the info page gets regenerated. your other log shows it: Prerequisite 'doc/version.texi' is newer than target 'doc/bison.info'. you shouldn't use "noatime" with your /var/tmp/portage/ mount point. it's pretty pointless since linux defaults to relatime where performance is fine even on real storage, but w/RAM (tmpfs) it's a non-issue. noatime breaks POSIX semantics. but the issue here looks timezone related. if your timezone is between UTC+6 and UTC+14 (inclusive), then the bison.texi timestamp looks like Jan 23. if it's UTC+5 through UTC-11, then it looks like Jan 22. the release was created by someone in that span so the generated file says Jan 22. my system is EST (UTC-5) so i don't regen the info page. i'm guessing you're using UTC+10 or something being in .au which is why it regens.
looks like a bug in automake which has been seen elsewhere in Gentoo https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2014-10/msg00004.html https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=20314

Thanks for the tip - I've remounted without 'noatime'. > but the issue here looks timezone related. if your timezone is between > UTC+6 and UTC+14 (inclusive), then the bison.texi timestamp looks like Jan > 23. if it's UTC+5 through UTC-11, then it looks like Jan 22. the release > was created by someone in that span so the generated file says Jan 22. Yes, currently UTC+11 though normally UTC+10

i've pushed the patch Debian proposed about a year later to our automake-1.15. it doesn't help with bundled versions, but so it goes. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=6f826cbd3673375bea652a8ffff906a4b8443e25
The commit in comment 9 doesn't seem to resolve this, but the patch to autotools should so I'll wait till that gets pushed to the mirrors and try again. /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/bison-3.0.4-r1/work/bison-3.0.4/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.

This is still failing to build with the same error. I've verified that I have both the new ebuild for bison and automake-1.15-r2.
*** Bug 575192 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
i've reworked it here: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=c5bbb996b885071bfd57d852c53ef5e676dfc8c3
Confirmed - this now builds successfully for me. Thanks.
