Found the following QA notice. Apparently this was fixed in bug 226427 but seems to have crept back into the latest stable version. * QA Notice: Automake "maintainer mode" detected: * * cd ../.. && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/rapidsvn-0.9.6-r1/work/rapidsvn-0.9.6/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu src/svncpp/Makefile * * If you patch Makefile.am, configure.in, or configure.ac then you * should use autotools.eclass and eautomake or eautoreconf. Exceptions * are limited to system packages for which it is impossible to run * autotools during stage building. See * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml for more information.
