*** Bug 138573 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
sim-0.9.4 is in portage and it does not use autoconf => compiles without problems. So while this does not fix this bug, I'd say the latest version of sim will work even if new autoconf will be unmasked.
Well. Trunk in sim already patched and future releases will work too. Current release as I already told does not have this problem, so ... bug is fixed :)
