Builds fine here. Please attach build.log and config.log.

Looks like there is an automagic dependency on media-libs/mesa[video_cards_vmware], which also triggers the failing
AC_CONFIG_FILES call.

A closer look reveals that the build failure happens only if mesa was built with --enable-xa which is not done by any ebuild in portage or the x11 overlay.

You may want to open a bug report upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

Ah, ok... I have a /usr/local/portage overlay with a modified mesa ebuild that has --enable-xa turned on so I can get vmwgfx 3D acceleration with xf86-video-vmware.  Thanks for investigating!

Fixed in 12.0.1
