Bugzilla Bug 23947

When I emerge kdeaddons, the system is unable to compile it because it requires 
aclocal to be run inside the work directory. I have done this by hand: running 
aclocal and automake after that and it seems to work, so I would suggest that 
portage should run aclocal inside that directory instead of exiting. This 
problem only happens with automake-1.7.5-r2. I have been able to compile it 
perfectly with automake-1.7.2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge automake (currently 1.7.5-r2)
2.emerge kdeaddons
3.

Actual Results:  
Can't have kdeaddons compiled.

Expected Results:  
Should have been correctly merged.

configure.in:39: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
