Description Javier Villavicencio (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Encountered it while building stages, autotools.eclass DEPENDs on sys-devel/libtool, and libtool-2.2.6a.ebuild uses the autotools.eclass.
Reproducible by unmerging libtool and trying to emerge it again:

dschubba / # emerge libtool

Calculating dependencies... done!

[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a  USE="-vanilla"
 
 * Error: circular dependencies:
 
('ebuild', '/', 'sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a', 'merge') depends on
  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6a', 'merge') (hard)
 
 * Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
 * disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

Emerges just fine if --nodeps.
