emerge --info and build.log

Maybe not specifically x264's bug but it's what I encountered it with.

On my system I have:
	$ ls -1 /usr/bin/*-strings
	/usr/bin/eu-strings
	/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-strings
	/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strings
	/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-strings  

and then when trying to build:
	[ebuild     U  ] media-libs/x264-0.0.20190903-r1:0/157::gentoo [0.0.20190903:0/157::gentoo] USE="interlaced threads -opencl -pic -static-libs (-altivec%)" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse" 0 KiB

I get hit by:
	>>> Configuring source in /tmp/portage/media-libs/x264-0.0.20190903-r1/work/x264-snapshot-20190903-2245 ...

All my fault. 

Was broken in: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=4531c7dc10670235bb6ff4658eb05f6081d4e205

Should be fixed in: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=215bc6822cfb1a61f51bed22ef59d33fb4f822bf

Confirming all good.

Guess I caught this at a bad time before sync mirror was updated, thanks.
