[Comment 1 Bodo Thiesen 2005-05-04 00:30:15 UTC]

Just didn't see that before:

>>> Unpacking sgml-common-0.6.3.tgz to /var/tmp/portage/sgml-common-0.6.3-r4/work
configure.in:4: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.in:4: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.in:4: with aclocal and run automake again.
doc/man/Makefile.am:2: `man8dir' is not a legitimate directory for `DATA'
>>> Source unpacked.

Now investigating I figured out I had a stale export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.8 in my /etc/profile which I added for some reason I can't recall, and obviously broke this ebuild. After removing that line and relogging in, everything works well again.
