+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #111602 +++ While trying to emerge regina-rexx-3.3 on an x86 machine, I ran into the same problem as the Bug above on PPC: >>> Unpacking Regina-REXX-3.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/regina-rexx-3.3/work configure.in:411: error: AC_REQUIRE(MH_GET_SHLPST): cannot be used outside of an AC_DEFUN'd macro configure.in:411: the top level autom4te-2.61: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 !!!

This requires autoconf-2.1* so adding WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 before autoconf in the ebuild solved the problem for me. Ali
Created attachment 104300 [details] regina-rexx-3.3.ebuild Fixed ebuild with WANT_AUTOCONF='2.1'
