has nothing to do with automake/autoconf ... autotools were not run in the output you just showed post the config.log file as an attachment
Created attachment 98005 [details] config.log Here's the config.log Seems to be some ld problem
post `emerge --verbose --info` also, try going into /var/tmp/portage/fsv-0.9/work/fsv-0.9 and running configure yourself and see if it errors
Still gets errors when running configure from the directory.

Created attachment 98030 [details] bash -x ./configure ... There you go!
Found the problem! I'd symlinked /bin/dash to /bin/sh, which seems to break things :) Sorry for the timewasting.
yeah, dont do that :p
only bash is known to provide POSIX compat sh
