Seems to be because of autoconf:2.71, fine with :2.69
The easiest fix is to add touch ar-lib || die somewhere in src_prepare()
(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #3) > The easiest fix is to add > > touch ar-lib || die > > somewhere in src_prepare() That did not work here. I ended up removing autoconf:2.71 as it's currently p.masked anyway and that "fixed" it. I guess the ebuild could force using :2.69, I remember this being possible, right?

I guess the ebuild could force using > :2.69, I remember this being possible, right? Unless absolutely necessary I personally wouldn't go there, even ancient packages early 2000s packages work fine with :2.71 and a few odd ones still wanting :2.69 over something trivial should be avoided. Could understand if the entire system is half-broken. That aside, I gave it a try, and in this case all you need is use: touch build-aux/ar-lib || die #775968 before eautoreconf instead, this can sometime vary a bit per package.
