after updating autoconf from 2.61-r* to 2.62 i cannot emerge gettext-0.16.1. i get the following:

 1 ***** aclocal *****
 2 ***** aclocal -I m4 -I ../gettext-runtime/m4 -I ../autoconf-lib-link/m4 -I ../m4 -I gnulib-m4 -I libgettextpo/gnulib-m4
 3 
 4 configure.ac:86: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_GNU_SOURCE
 5 gnulib-m4/extensions.m4:19: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from...
 6 ../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:331: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from...
 7 gnulib-m4/gnulib-comp.m4:21: gl_EARLY is expanded from...
 8 configure.ac:86: the top level
 9 autom4te-2.62: /opt/gentoo/usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
10 aclocal-1.10: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

i get exactly the same message for app-arch/fastjar. when downgrading autoconf, it works again.

I guess we better help gentoo-x86 with this where possible, or wait for them to finish.
