Created attachment 304087 [details] build.log: Fails on amd64.
we don't care about autoconf-2.13. no one should be using this thing. i'm thinking we should just disable tests on this version.
Well, I think that so long as other packages in portage are bringing it in as a dependency, then we should care about it! No matter how much we might want to see the back of it. For your information, it is dev-libs/nspr-4.9 that suddenly brought it in as a dependency (whereas 4.8.x don't). Maybe it's a bug?
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104642 (note that spidermonkey make an explicit dep on autoconf 2.13 too)
The test's output suggests, that it expects to find the loadavg in /dev/kmem. Which doesn't exist for most of us and the test fails. The very commands that try to access /dev/kmem are ls's in acspecific.m4, lines 1568 and 1570. The script flow gets here, becasue $ac_cv_func_getloadavg_setgid=yes. As a quickfix, inserting "ac_cv_func_getloadavg_setgid=no" right after the line 1553 "solves" the problem and the test succeeds. But does it mean that autoconf actually knows how to get the loadavg? I don't know exactly how to check (the test itself doesn't seem to actually read the loadavg, but I'm not 100% sure) for that. Could anyone help please? acspecific.m4, line 1478 is the only place where ac_cv_func_getloadavg_setgid could have been set to yes and trigger the error as described previously. Line 1478 further implies (sort of) that the program had found getloadavg() in -lutil (a part of glibc). This function exists in today's common glibc and reads the values from /proc/loadavg, although the -lutil is not actually necessary, so it may not reside in libutil, but that's irrelevant for this problem. An strace of the test phase shows no access to /proc/loadavg. But that might be OK - the test probably doesn't actually read the loadavg. Maybe the function GETLOADAVG in acspecific.m4 finds getloadavg() in -lutil, is satisfied with that, but presumably for historic reasons goes on to assume that this function will read /dev/kmem and makes some checks on it that obviously fail. When this is all true, then evading these checks with the said quickfix is one of the ways how to make everything just right. But again: I'd like to check in practice that autoconf knows how to get loadavg. If I find the time to learn autotools, I'll verify that myself. But if you already know how to check, please do it. If all turns out well, we can bump to 2.13-r1.
autoconf-2.13 also fails Fortran-related tests on my system: AC_PROG_F77, AC_PROG_F77_WORKS, AC_PROG_F77_GNU, AC_PROG_F77_G, AC_PROG_F77_C_O, AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS. It looks for one of g77, f77, f2c. Not found => test fails. These should be skipped if neither of the three binaries exists. Apart from that, the package passes tests cleanly for me.
Well, I guess someone disabled the tests or something, because there aren't any to fail any more.
Not fixed, tests are not removed, but ebuild has missing DEPEND. Jeremy, most likely you did something like 'emerge --depclean --with-bdeps=n -q' Portage 2.2.8-r1 (hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.17, 3.13.5-hardened x86_64)

Very, very few packages use autoconf-2.13, let alone AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG, so not going to worry about it much. Do as Fedora and Debian do and skip the test for it.
