Description Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-08-25 13:26:41 UTC 
Seen with sys-devel/automake-1.15.1-r1 during Prefix bootstrap:
$(srcdir)/doc/automake.info depends on
$(srcdir)/doc/version.texi depends on
$(srcdir)/doc/stamp-vti depends on 
$(srcdir)/configure

As src_prepare does modify $S/configure by both ./bootstrap and sed /APIVERSION/, please add either DEPEND=sys-devel/automake, or something along these lines:

--- a/sys-devel/automake/automake-1.15.1-r1.ebuild
+++ b/sys-devel/automake/automake-1.15.1-r1.ebuild

This bug currently kills a sizable number of my stage-3s and lxc container :-/

I would assume to trigger this when I rename makeinfo on my system but I am unable to reproduce.

But given that your "hack" doesn't hurt I am going to add it.
