Ebuild fails because portage tries to use automake 1.14 which is not supported by dbus. Adding the following line to the ebuild resolves. WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.13"

I just removed all automake instances from my machine, dbus pulls in automake-1.15-r2 and compiles fine...
Interesting I wonder what the difference is I also have 1.15 installed but it picks 1.14 instead of the other two versions that do work without the hint.
I would appreciate some logs/traces :)
