Not sure what is it that makes it break this way, but right now it does not build when automake-1.9 is not installed in the system, failing aclocal because of this: ***** aclocal ***** ***** PWD: /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libXt-1.0.5/work/libXt-1.0.5 ***** aclocal am-wrapper: warning: invalid WANT_AUTOMAKE 'latest'; ignoring. am-wrapper: /usr/bin/aclocal-1.9 is missing or not executable. Please try emerging the correct version of automake.

I've added WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.9" to the ebuild without a revbump. That ought to fix it... Thanks
You *did* confirm it doesn't work with 1.10 didn't you?
Well... that's what this bug was about, wasn't it?
Uh, no, the bug was with some bad interaction (afaics) between x-modular and autotools eclasses...
Problem seems to have reappeared. I was updating world today, which pulled in net-nds/openldap-2.4.24 , which failed to run aclocal in the prepare phase: * Running aclocal ...

[IP-] [ ] sys-devel/automake-1.11.1:1.11 Why require automake-1.9 when automake-1.11 is the current version? Is 1.9 really needed?
A few days after i submitted my comment, automake-1.9 was reinstalled in a separate SLOT from 1.11, and the problem disappeared. I suppose it was discussed and fixed in some other bug thread ;)
