I have no clue why it runs automake on your system, doesn't here.. but.. + 02 Feb 2008; Samuli Suominen <drac@gentoo.org> linkage-0.1.4.ebuild: + Download and copy sizeof.m4 from upstream subversion to m4 subdirectory + because it isn't included in default tarball wrt #208548.
unfortunately the sizeof.m4 has been removed since revision 478. I found it here: http://linkage.googlecode.com/svn-history/r477/trunk/m4/sizeof.m4 and make worked :) thanks
