Noticed on ruby git package: $ git clone https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git $ autoreconf configure.ac: error: required file 'config.sub' not found configure.ac: error: required file 'config.guess' not found strace suggests autoconf lost it's files: stat("/usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/config.sub", 0x7fb70ab2fa60) = -1 ENOENT stat("/usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/config.guess", 0x7fb70ab2fa60) = -1 ENOENT write(2, "configure.ac: error: required fi"..., 58configure.ac: error: required file 'config.sub' not found ) = 58 write(2, "configure.ac: error: required fi"..., 60configure.ac: error: required file 'config.guess' not found ) = 60 They seem to be there, but versioning seems missing: $ ls /usr/share/autoconf-2.69d/build-aux/ config.guess-2.70_beta3 config.sub-2.70_beta3 install-sh-2.70_beta3 I think sys-devel/autoconf-2.70_beta2 used to work, but I'm not sure. 2.69 does work.
Might be related to recent http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=35a1c64600894ecc3b06b6c4b273952db7c8fc83 change. Maybe gentoo's --program-suffix="-${PV}" interferes with it.
This has now been fixed upstream, you may want to cherry-pick git commit 0f7e5a5477f97b8a105d563bc7590ebefaff854d for further bulk testing. (All of the commits since the v2.69d fix regressions from 2.69, FYI. They just keep coming :-( )
