This should have been marked as a duplicate of that one as it has more specific info but base-system please take a look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237865#c2 and make it possible to use 2.62 in WANT_AUTOCONF.

Diego made me realize that the dep doesn't have to be in the eclass so the dep is now in the ebuild itself.
