Confirmed.

The patch "50_all_libwww-5.4.0-respectflags.patch" is the one which raises this error.

See bug #126863

[Comment 4 Neil Skrypuch 2006-10-26 05:20:19 UTC]

Same error here.

Same here even without libwww-5.4.0-respectflags.patch.

Hm that's strange. The patch in portage seems to differ from the one in /var/tmp/portage/libwww-5.4.0-r7/work/patch/

I didn't even think about checking that before :)

I guess it's some kind of bug in eautoreconf then...

(In reply to comment #6)

Never mind. I should really think before posting comments.

libwww-5.4.0-patches-1.0.tar.bz2 contains a version of the patch mentioned above which differs from the one in the files/ directory, called 50_all_libwww-5.4.0-respectflags.patch

[Comment 8 Aleksandr Ivanov 2006-10-26 11:10:05 UTC]

same erroor...

emerge --sync in an hour or so, or apply this patch to autotools.eclass if you can't wait:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/eclass/autotools.eclass?r1=1.52&r2=1.54&diff_format=u

Closing.
