Description Martin Väth 2016-05-16 16:17:19 UTC 
Is there a reason why dev-libs/libgcrypt contains WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.14?

I have only automake-1.15-r2 installed, and at least versions 1.6.5 and 1.7.0 compile with it without any problems (on x86 and am64 with gcc-5.3.0) when I remove the WANT_AUTOMAKE line from the ebuild.

Changing automake versions is less trivial than one would expect due to incompabilities introduced between versions. For a long time libgcrypt versions needed patches to compile for 1.13 and 1.14, so as such it won't be marked for other (stable) versions without proper testing.
