autotools_src_prepare should respect other locations for file sepcified by AT_M4DIR and similar. I tried to port sci-libs/clipper but eautoreconf doesn't get called because the AT_M4DIR="config" isn'r reespected.
That's weird. It seems that autotools.eclass handles that internally. I'll try to take a look at the specific package.
* Autoreconfiguring '/tmp/portage/sci-libs/clipper-20100511-r1/work/clipper-2.1' ... * Running libtoolize --copy --force --install --automake ... [ ok ] * Running aclocal -I config -I config ... [ ok ] with AT_M4DIR="config" autotools-utils_src_prepare.
So please run the tests with and without the use of the eclass. There must be a difference. For me it seems that eautoreconf doesn't run.

Well, AFAICS the difference would be that we use default_src_test() which doesn't pass args. I guess that's the problem needing fixing. Could you attach your ebuild?

You gotta 'cd ${AUTOTOOLS_BUILD_DIR}' if you don't want to use autotools-utils_src_*(). I'll turn this bug into 'fixing autotools-utils_src_test() to support args' if you don't mind. It is generally recommended to use 'autotools-utils_src_compile' instead of 'emake' as it jumps to the right directory.
I don't use autotools-utils_src_test. also manually runing make check fails because the target is missing in the make file.

Okay I got it :) Please do what you think is best.
