This is Automake 1.10, configure.in:37: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.in:37: comes from Automake 1.9.6.

Added.
Works here. A small cleanup propose: Remove the "=sys-devel/automake-1.9*" from DEPEND, as that is automatically added by autotools.eclass.
(In reply to comment #2) > Works here. > A small cleanup propose: Remove the "=sys-devel/automake-1.9*" from DEPEND, as > that is automatically added by autotools.eclass. > I have changed it to be WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 prior to inheriting autotools. This makes the automake DEPEND come from autotools, but more importantly it ensures eautoreconf actually uses 1.9 not, for example, 1.10
