Some old packages show this:

checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libjwc_f-1.1-r2/work/libjwc_f-1.1/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/libjwc_f-1.1-r2/work/libjwc_f-1.1/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing

simple removal of missing hlpes, beacuse it gets replace later by autotools.

Can we check this in the eclass and replace it when to old?

Hrm, autoconf is called there, doesn't it?

it is, you can test it with the older version of the ebuild or by not removing the missing file.

Hrm, I'm going to switch autotools-utils to eautoreconf soon, and I think it should be handled there... I'll update the bug as soon as vapier updates autotools.eclass, ok?

Please try it now, and if it still happens, reassign this to base-system and s/autotools-utils/eautoreconf/.
