Problem solved by installing libsdl and adding "media-sound/mhwaveedit sdl" to /etc/portage/package.use.
(In reply to comment #3) > Problem solved by installing libsdl and adding "media-sound/mhwaveedit sdl" to > /etc/portage/package.use. yeah you can do that but it shouldn't fail even if you don't.
Perhaps doing 'eautoconf; eautomake' won't trigger full eautoreconf, but the moment aclocal runs, presence of that macro is required. Unless you're planning a heavy hacking of configure.in.
