I get the same error when running: /usr/bin/m4 --fatal-warning --reload-state=/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/autoconf.m4f NONE:0: /usr/bin/m4: `unloadmodule' from frozen file not found in builtin table! However, this error does not exist on another machine (The above waits for CTRL-D).
Issue solved by: emerge -b autoconf Something required autoconf to be recompiled. Does anyone know why? And why does this not happen automatically?
