When trying to upgrade a relatively new Gentoo Prefix, building mpfr fails with the following error: cd /home/chuot/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.0/work/mpfr-4.1.0 && /home/chuot/gentoo/bin/bash /home/chuot/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.0/work/mpfr-4.1.0/missing automake-1.16 --gnu configure:14311: error: possibly undefined macro: AX_PTHREAD If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. make: *** [Makefile:432: /home/chuot/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.0/work/mpfr-4.1.0/configure] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... * ERROR: dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.0::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed This error is also described here: https://github.com/advancetoolchain/advance-toolchain/issues/243 After merging autoconf-archives, the compilation succeeded. So I would suggest to add autoconf-archives as a build dependency for dev-libs/mpfr Reproducible: Always
What is wrong with your system that it keeps running into autotools problems when there shouldn't be any?
Please provide a few details: - full build.log - emerge --info mpfr As Jeroen noted ::gentoo's ebuild does not run automake. We need to find why it's called.

I filled this bug because I thought it was a regular issue due to the version change. But since you are surprised, I should mention that this is a Prefix amd64 installation running in a Docker container.
@toolchain, this is a prefix version of the ebuild, feel free to reassign to us.
Sounds good!
Ok turns out I was wrong, we don't have mpfr cloned, so this should be the gx86 version. @Camille: do you have any (user) patches defined for mpfr? It shouldn't attempt to run autotools. Are there any specifics about the filesystem you use?

Are there any specifics about the filesystem you > use? Hi Fabian No patches. I also had issues with others packages (wget & diffutils). https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736118 This solved the issue: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=295f0726179d16084e1bcfefb24ef90e23ebdbd9 The root Prefix (/home/chuot/gentoo) is a Docker volume, so basically it is a bind mount to /var/lib/docker/volumes/gentoo_prefix/_data, which /var/lib is an ext4 filesystem. (Docker for Mac: Linux docker-desktop 4.19.76-linuxkit)
I'm wondering if this is still breaking, recent bootstraps did not indicate any issue of this sort.
