Bugzilla Bug 157905

During the configure for povray, a large number of messages in the following
format appear:
checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ accepts -pipe... ./configure: line
12837: "\-p|ipe": command not found

Shortly after, the configure program claims that "C compiler cannot create
executables".

Created an attachment (id=103858) [details]
config.log for the install

Told to attach by person who closed prior bug.

Confirmed, I have amd64, too.

Also confirmed here on amd64

Probably a compatibility issue with povray's autoconf scripts.
Rerunning autoconf not necessary on amd64 (gentoo's configure.ac patch only
fixes some PPC-related compiler flags).
Commenten out the 'eautoconf' line in the src_unpack() section of the ebuild
fixes the problem on amd64.

Seems a duplicated of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142498

Indeed, thanks.
