try re-emerging libtool ? Which version of mpeg4ip are you trying to compile?
..
this is probably a dupe of #77988 (but it wasnt fixed properly)

I re-emerged libtool.  Also brought system up
to date, the tried to emerge mpeg4ip again
with same error.

I'm getting the same error message (x86 platform).  

My first attempt left flags as is (thus motif flag was enabled, gtk disabled)

I tried again disabling motif and enabling gtk flags, but it still halted with
the same error.

Sorry ignore my post with the "motif" flags (I was also having problems getting
xscreensaver to compile when I did an emerge -avuD world and that is where the
motif flag causes the problems and I got confused which bug report I was posting
too).

The mpeg4ip I've only tried with:
+alsa +arts -esd +gtk -ipv6 +mmx -nas -v4l2 -xvid
flags (and ones with -gtk) and both attempts failed with the same error Heitzso had.

The problem command line is:
/bin/sh ../../../../libtool --mode=compile gcc   -c -o mmxidct.lo `test -f
'mmxidct.S' || echo './'`mmxidct.S

Rather than invoke that versin of libtool I ran:

libtool --mode=compile gcc   -c -o mmxidct.lo `test -f 'mmxidct.S' || echo
'./'`mmxidct.S

thereby using the normal gentoo libtool.
That worked.  I then started running 'make' by hand in sequence traveling
up (or down, depending on your perspective) the directory tree.

BTW, the directory this is in (initial problem dir):
/var/tmp/portage/mpeg4ip-1.1/work/mpeg4ip-1.1/common/video/libmpeg32/video

I've tried to compile mpeg4ip on Ubuntu and it consistently fails, also
tangles badly with other libraries.  A mess.  I find myself trying to
run Dyne::Bolic to get a working version of mpeg4ip programs, but that
does not support newer motherboards, chipsets (based on slightly older
2.4.x kernel).  Pain.  Enough venting.

While venting my last make ran okay (in the mpeg4ip-1.1 dir).
I'm running "make install" now -- ran fine.  Programs now in /usr/bin
Hope this helps someone.

I can confirm this bug, it's the same with mpeg4ip 1.3.  Re-emerging libtool
doesn't do anything since the package includes its own libtool files.  On the
other hand, running

aclocal
automake
autoconf
libtoolize --copy --force

in the package directory seems to fix the problem.  So presumably the libtool
distributed with the package is really out of date.  I'm not sure if that's a
good approach as part of an ebuild?  But I'm gonna submit a patch that does that
anyway.

Lastly: perhaps the priority of this bug can be upped?  I am fairly sure that
there is no version of mpeg4ip which can be emerged on any reasonably recent
gentoo system.

Created an attachment (id=67404) [edit]
patch mpeg4ip ebuild to recreate makefile/configure and refresh libtool files

with this, mpeg4ip-1.1 builds fine for me, otherwise it fails in the exact same
way as described by the original poster.

Actually, the only thing needed is "libtoolize --copy --force"

Olivier: As I can reproduce this easily, mind if I take over this bug? Would
like to see it fixed, as the new media-sound/easytag depends on it.

its all yours.. btw.. if it depends on libmp4v2.. its also provided by
media-libs/libfaad2 (altough the libfaad2 version is older and has some bugs).

I just fixed mpeg4ip-1.1 (the current stable version). 1.3 seems to be
unaffected, and I can't compile 1.2 due to bug 111426. If people find that other
versions are affected by this bug, please reopen.
