I have the same problem at an i686 system.

Seems aclocal is run in the wrong directory.

A bugfix is to add the line
   cd "${S}"         
before
   eautoreconf    
in src_unpack() of the sablotron-1.0.3.ebuild

Followed  Joakim Lindblad's instructions & got it to work.
Thanks Joakim

Thanks. Fixed.

This was broken by a recent change in base.eclass.
