Actual Results: Build error Expected Results: Correct build and emerge Inside the /usr/portage/distfiles/libvirt-1.2.9.tar.gz there is a directory build-aux/snippet with the files: arg-nonnull.h c++defs.h _Noreturn.h unused-parameter.h warn-on-use.h that after running ebuild prepare it contains only "unused-parameter.h". I think the step that cleans the files is "Running libtoolize --copy --force --automake"

I can't reproduce with the same USE combo.
I have libtool-2.4.3, if I unpack in /tmp the tar.gz and run this steps I can make these files disappear: coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ ls build-aux/snippet/ arg-nonnull.h c++defs.h _Noreturn.h unused-parameter.h warn-on-use.h coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ libtoolize --copy --force --automake coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ ls build-aux/snippet/ unused-parameter.h
I can reproduce with libtool-2.4.3
Sorry for the spam :( Additional tests, the --force parameter is the one that makes it delete the files: coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ ls build-aux/snippet/ arg-nonnull.h c++defs.h _Noreturn.h unused-parameter.h warn-on-use.h coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ libtoolize --copy --verbose libtoolize: found 'configure.ac' libtoolize: export M4='m4' libtoolize: ac_aux_dir='build-aux' libtoolize: ltdl mode='' libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build-aux'. libtoolize: 'build-aux/ltmain.sh' is already up to date. libtoolize: found 'Makefile.am' libtoolize: aclocal_amflags=-I m4' libtoolize: am_macro_dir='m4' libtoolize: Not copying 'm4/argz.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: Not copying 'm4/ltdl.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: found LT_INIT invocation coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ ls build-aux/snippet/ arg-nonnull.h c++defs.h _Noreturn.h unused-parameter.h warn-on-use.h coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ libtoolize --copy --force --verbose libtoolize: found 'configure.ac' libtoolize: export M4='m4' libtoolize: ac_aux_dir='build-aux' libtoolize: ltdl mode='' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/compile' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/depcomp' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/missing' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/snippet/_Noreturn.h' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/snippet/arg-nonnull.h' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/snippet/c++defs.h' libtoolize: rm -f 'build-aux/snippet/warn-on-use.h' libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build-aux'. libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh build-aux libtoolize: found 'Makefile.am' libtoolize: aclocal_amflags=-I m4' libtoolize: am_macro_dir='m4' libtoolize: rm -f 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: rm -f 'm4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: rm -f 'm4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: rm -f 'm4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: rm -f 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' libtoolize: Not copying 'm4/argz.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 m4 libtoolize: Not copying 'm4/ltdl.m4', libltdl not used. libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4 m4 libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4 m4 libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4 m4 libtoolize: cp -f /usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4 m4 libtoolize: found LT_INIT invocation coma@mururoa /tmp/libvirt-1.2.9 $ ls build-aux/snippet/ unused-parameter.h I'll attach a full debug output of libtoolize.

Same error with lftp and octave: c++defs.h gets removed and they fail to build. Downgrading to libtool 2.4.2 fixes the build error for both.

For some reason, all those headers (snippet/_Noreturn.h snippet/arg-nonnull.h snippet/c++defs.h snippet/warn-on-use.h) got explicitly added to the list of files '--force' should remove during a rewrite of libtoolize that took place a little over two years ago. Noteworthy is that install-sh initially was also among these files, but got removed by an explicit commit. So it might be worth asking (*libtool*) upstream about how that's supposed to work.

...and on a not really related note: did you notice, that 2.4.3 tarball is compressed significantly weaker than the previous one ?
libtool 2.4.3 also crashes compilation of dev-libs/apr net-libs/gnutls net-ftp/lftp media-tv/tvheadend Workaround: downgrade libtool to 2.4.2-r1

...oops, comment 14 is wrong, that tarball is OK - cyrus-sasl 2.1.26 just makes me see things that aren't there every now and then.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Do not delete headers installed by gnulib http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/libtool/files/libtool-2.4.3-no-clean-gnulib.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/libtool/libtool-2.4.3-r1.ebuild?rev=1.1
I've confirmed that fix for gnutls (libtool-2.4.3-r1)

(In reply to Yuriy Dmitriev from comment #25) we do one issue per bug. this bug was about deleting random header files and that is now fixed, so this bug is now closed.
