proposed patch to m4-1.4-r1.ebuild
Ooops, 1.4-r1 is not the newest version of m4 in portage. But m4-1.4.1.ebuild has the same issue. The patch I proposed has a severe problem: it removes changeword support by default, which would pretty likely break autoconf on any running gentoo installation. It should disable changeword only if -changeword is set in USE instead. Someone should perhaps WONTFIX this? looks like we backed ourselves into a wall with this ... if you turn off the feature then a lot of things that were generated with it will break |
