I unmerged then emerged automake and autoconf, now I don't have this error anymore.

I think this bug is now solved

I gues so. Looks like it was a broken m4 installation that got fixed on remerging.

I've tried unmerging automake and autoconf with env-update, still getting the following error 
when I try to emerge kdegraphics
