I am unable to reproduce the issue though I have perl[-ithreads]. Moreover, your bugreport shows that the issue arises rather within automake itself. Please _attach_ the complete build.log, aclocal.out and 'emerge --info automake:1.11 perl'. Afterwards, try rebuilding automake:1.11 and let me know if that fixes the issue.
Thanks for the quick response. My apologies, you're right in saying this has nothing to do with netcat6. It doesn't really have anything to do with automake either. I think the problem was that I was rebuilding 100+ packages at once and perl was rebuilt to drop the "ithreads" USE flag (without me seeing the notice about running perl-cleaner to fix the modules) prior to automake/netcat6 being rebuilt. Thus automake was probably still under the assumption that perl had ithreads support built in. I imagine the code which was failing was: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/configure.ac?id=df4f77d029cd7fe42722ab402bad105081d093b1#n64 I haven't been able to reproduce this issue as per: USE="-ithreads" emerge -1 perl perl-cleaner --modules emerge -1 automake emerge -1 netcat6 Thus this bug report can be ignored. Additional note: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302586 has some more detail on the need to run perl-cleaner.
