People who report bugs using the guided format include their 'emerge info' output. For some bugs it would be helpful if the autoconf/automake version they are using would be included.
which one since we use "virtuals" ?
The ebuild versions please. I have another problem if nobody minds - could we split gcc info into what version we get by running 'gcc -dumpversion', and also the ebuild version? Revision do make a lot of difference some times ...
Hmm, we use auto switching, not virtuals, but there is no way that portage can figure out what version was used outside the build environment, so ebuild version is ok.
