Flameeyes:
"I've added a QA warning to autotools.eclass so that now using its functions
outside of src_unpack throws is reported to the users (and thus to the
developers to fix it).

I'm filing bugs for the packages I can easily find being doing this through a
simple grep on the tree.

If you fixed the issue in the last version of an ebuild and I still opened this
bug, please don't close it until you removed that ebuild from the tree.

Thanks for the cooperation."

And what's the problem with calling autotools outside src_unpack()?

it's wrong ... autotools are not a compile step, they're a source-prepare (and thus unpack) step.

All fixed now.
