Build fails if automake is not installed: >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/nettle-2.7.1-r1/work/nettle-2.7.1 ... * Applying nettle-2.7-shared.patch ...

Tried 1.13:1.13 1.14:1.14 Also r1 does not install docs anymore, these files are missing: /usr/share/doc/nettle-2.7.1/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/nettle-2.7.1/ChangeLog.bz2 /usr/share/doc/nettle-2.7.1/NEWS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/nettle-2.7.1/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/nettle-2.7.1/TODO.bz2 This is typical mistake during migration to multilib: 'default' was removed from scr_install and nothing installs docs.
I think ebuild should set AUTOTOOLS_AUTORECONF=yes before inheritting autotools-* eclass and drop the manual eautoreconf to get deps added and also manually call einstalldocs at the install phase defined by ebuild
