Yep, same error here; even tried:

CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O2" USE="" emerge  net-dialup/ppp -u

[Comment 2 Hector E. Gomez Morales 2004-02-17 20:47:34 UTC]

I am in the same boot but with gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r4 kernel, with ccache not enabled, autoconf-2.59.

[Comment 3 Peter Leugner 2004-02-18 01:00:10 UTC]

Same here

[Comment 4 Hector E. Gomez Morales 2004-02-18 01:58:28 UTC]

A tip from Merlin-TC in the forums suggested this
export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 (needs a old autoconf)
emerge ppp

I had sucess with this to emerge ppp

[Comment 5 Ed Wood 2004-02-18 12:02:02 UTC]

Created attachment 25870 [details]
fixed ebuild

sets the WANT_AUTOCONF="2.1" flag and removes it after the emerge
cp to /usr/portage/net-dialup/ppp/ and remove the .fixed from the filename

[Comment 6 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-02-18 12:07:04 UTC]

comment #4 have the correct fix, please apply.

[Comment 7 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-02-18 12:07:45 UTC]

Ed, you do not have to unset it, as its local to the merge (or portage
environment rather).

[Comment 8 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) 2004-02-21 16:22:03 UTC]

That does the trick here too. Can someone check that into portage?
