elfutils seems to be missing a dependancy since I see the following error during install: /usr/portage/dev-libs/elfutils/elfutils-0.108.ebuild: line 38: autoreconf: command not found emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: [Not Present] sys-devel/automake: [Not Present] sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: [Not Present] virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fforce-addr -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fforce-addr -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fvisibility-inlines-hidden" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/ ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt cups eds emboss encode esd foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal howl imlib ipv6 jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl spell sse sse2 ssl tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL
autoreconf comes from sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper which is a required package on all Gentoo systems
