I noticed this because I don't have 1.14 installed, but obviously half the point of autotools is that the person using the package doesn't need to have it installed at all. Possible resolutions are: running eautoreconf in the ebuild; depending on autotools-1.14; masking and bugging upstream; something else?
+ 23 Sep 2014; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> Manifest: + Recreated source tarball without symlinks to auto* tools. Thanks to Mikael + Magnusson who reported this issue in bug #523496. + Thanks for pointing that out. FYI, the tarball is no official upstream tarball as procps-ng upstream unfortunately does not provide any source tarballs at all.
