Bugzilla Bug 226439

Rebuilding autotools through maintainer-mode is _not_ good, because it usually
means you forget to add dependencies, and they'll magically use the same
version as used by upstream, which might not be what the user have installed at
all.

If you patch Makefile.am or configure.in/configure.ac you _have to_ use
autotools.eclass and eautomake/eautoreconf. Exceptions are granted _only_ for
system packages that would make it impossible to run autotools during
stagebuilding.

Please fix your package.

build.log for app-text/gv-3.6.4

Diego, I've bumped app-text/gv to 3.6.4 and changed it to modify only
Makefile.am instead of also Makefile.in, then inherited autotools and ran
eautoreconf. Why am I still getting..
