I got the same error right now with 2006.1 and mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1. So it looks
like it was not fixed. However emerging sdl before mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1 fixes
the problem.

Correction (if I was not clear) emerging with sdl as a USE flag fixes this
problem. 

*** Bug 146476 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This bug accurs now as eautoreconf is called with new configure.ac changes.

sdl is really not (!) needed. It is just a brainded autoconf-setup in
mjpegtools-sources.
It misses some m4-files which autoconf needs and normally fetches from the
system.

that should be solved now. And mjpegtools does not unconditionally need SDL.

Ok, it is really solved in AMD64 (tested). You can close this thread :)

Fixed.
