I feel this should be patched out (currently doesn't even depend on git):

configure.ac:
>m4_define([jq_version],
>          m4_esyscmd_s([(git rev-parse --verify -q jq-1.0 > /dev/null &&
>                        (git describe --tags --dirty --match 'jq-*'|sed 's/^jq-//')) ||
>                        echo `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`-`git describe --always --dirty`])))

Reopening as the issue is still here.

By manually running autoconf --force in the source directory I get:

# autoconf --force
configure.ac:10: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_SILENT_RULES
configure.ac:12: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR
configure.ac:13: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:21: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.ac:52: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:128: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_FIND_FUNC
configure.ac:149: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_MATH_FUNC

I have automake-1.16.2-r1

Can you share the latest logs with the git patch?

Also, try reinstalling autoconf, m4, automake, autoconf-archive (if installed) just in case? (no binpkg)

Thanks for sharing output, going to think about it.

(Re CFLAGS, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/776370#c4.)

[Comment 13 Sam James 2021-03-28 18:31:50 UTC]

This has got to be the same problem as the other bug but I’m baffled at the moment. Is there any chance you could list anything “weird” about the system? Anything different from usual?

[Comment 14 Agostino Sarubbo 2021-03-29 15:00:14 UTC]

Libtool was also broken so I started 'emerge -e world' to see if something will improve. Well it works now, I don't know what exactly was broken but it has not been catched by our tools.
