Created attachment 411986 [details] build.log In its current state, wget-1.16.3-r1 seems to require automake-1.14.x to build. The patch added in -r1 seems to trigger autoconf-1.14 calls where it wasn't needed previously. This might be better fixed with an eautoreconf call rather than adding an explicit versioned automake dep, but adding eautoreconf to src_prepare causes some more errors I don't quite understand. I've attached the original build.log, from before any ebuild modification.
i've deleted the part of the patch which touched automake inputs http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=507e6ca03e82b1a7765c3b69572551c119417cf7
