what version of autoconf-wrapper / automake-wrapper do you have installed ?
OK. Since update world tried to compile coreutils-5.2.1-r4 before automake-wrapper-1-r1, this failed. If I manually update automake-wrapper-1-r1 first, the coreutils seem to compile fine afterwards. I have changed severity to minor based on this. Version info: localhost root # nice emerge --update --pretend --verbose world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

i bumped the wrappers for this exact reason

"system" seems to have a better order. But it is an easy workaround, and probably not an issue for anyone but me.
Created attachment 50776 [details, diff] coreutils-5.2.1-r4.ebuild.diff Please apply attached patch to coreutils-5.2.1-r4 This will happen again, if someone with that defective old installations emerges coreutils before without an previous emerge system
