Correction in steps to reproduce (as it is similar to bug 469504 I copied the description and forgot to change package name):

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge lxde-base/lxsession

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the report. I pushed a fix by adding a patch that adds subdir-objects to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. Upstream already has this fix so I won't be reporting it upstream.

Thanks for the quick fix, I just run a sync and updated the package without the workaround. Your fix solves the issue!
