xscreensaver tries to run aclocal-1.4 which does not exist :/ Workaround: Do a "one-shot emerge" of automake 1.4: emerge -1v =sys-devel/automake-1.4_p6 Possible solutions: a) Modifiy the build, so it will run aclocal instead of aclocal-1.4 (don't know if it will work with newer versions of aclocal) or b) (re-)add the dependency for automake 1.4_p6 to the ebuild Andreas.
Fixed, thanks.

The fix is not correct (and 5.0 is missing the dependencies altogether). http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/autofailure.xml
Fixed in 4.24 and 5*.
