Reproducible: Always

@base-system, when an ebuild does something like:

src_prepare() {
    eautomake
    elibtoolize
}

and eautomake finds an automake version mismatch, it runs whole eautoreconf, elibtoolize included. Effectively, the above-reported warning happens.

if the ebuild is triggering a full rerun due to automake mismatch, it should change the code to use eautoreconf instead of trying to cheat w/plain automake.  in which case i'm not sure we should fix this as it's a good warning to get people to change their ebuild.
