QA Notice: Automake "maintainer mode" detected:

	 cd .. && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/mimetic-0.9.8/work/mimetic-0.9.8/missing automake-1.17 --gnu test/Makefile

If you patch Makefile.am, configure.in,  or configure.ac then you
should use autotools.eclass and eautomake or eautoreconf. Exceptions
are limited to system packages for which it is impossible to run
autotools during stage building. See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Proj

  This is an unstable amd64 chroot image at a tinderbox (==build bot)
  name: 23.0-20240908-010502

  The build log matches a QA pattern or sth. requested by a dev.
  The attached etc.portage.tar.xz has all details.

   Prerequisite 'autocutee.mk' is newer than target 'Makefile.in'.
  Must remake target 'Makefile.in'.
Makefile:334: update target 'Makefile.in' due to: autocutee.mk


If you unpack the tarball:

  File: test/Makefile.in
Modify: 2014-06-17 04:26:29.000000000 -0400


  File: test/autocutee.mk
Modify: 2014-06-17 04:47:46.000000000 -0400



Also, the file is gloriously empty. It is unclear why they both `include` it in Makefile.am, and have modified its timestamp to be later than when they ran automake.
