OK. I found the way to reproduce this bug. steps to reproduce: 1) emerge =sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6 2) emerge sys-devel/automake (current version: 1.10.2) 3) emerge mail-client/sylpheed 4) build failed! I was not able to reproduce this bug, because automake-1.4_p6 is not installed on my system. eautomake was replaced by eautoreconf in CVS.
