Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2016-02-23 16:52:20 UTC
Currently ebuild says:
"""
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.13

inherit autotools eutils linux-info multilib multilib-minimal user
"""

As far as I can tell this is a bogus restriction, it builds with newer automake. This is the last package on most of my systems that pulls in this old automake version, it'd be nice to have it fixed.

it may be left over cruft.  if you tested without it the let's just yank it.
