build fails at configuration phase with error message:

/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-2.12-r1/work/grub-2.12/build-aux/missing: line 81: automake-1.15: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.15' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>

I suspect one of your userpatches is touching a generated file. If so, you should set GRUB_AUTORECONF=1.
