An attempt to bootstrap prefix portage on x86-linux failed. The failure occurs when emerging automake-1.10.1 for the last time, after having done `emerge --sync'. The failure printout complains on autoconf. It seems that a previous version of autoconf (2.61-r01.1) was usable, and that the current version (2.62) causes the failure. Here is text from the console log: >>> Emerging (24 of 87) sys-devel/automake-1.10.1 to / [ ... text deleted ... ] checking whether autoconf is installed... yes checking whether autoconf works... no configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.

Thanks. I'll mask it. I could forsee this coming. I want stable keywords for @system just to make bootstrapping less risky ...
