sys-apps/hal-0.5.10 fails to run aclocal with libtool 2.2. Works fine with previous version of libtool. Steps to reproduce: 1. Upgrade to sys-devel/libtool-2.2. 2. Emerge sys-apps/hal-0.5.10.

Following a hunch, I added following line: sed -i -e '/AC_PROG_CC/aAC_PROG_CXX' "${S}"/configure.in in the ebuild, right above eautoreconf and it built fine.
