'ROOT=/ has_version' behavior seems to have changed in a non backwards compatible way. autotools.eclass relies on this. I've pushed [ed0e36e7b664078c7b7f2c346ea377f7537385f8] to use proper arguments to has_version in newer eapis, but EAPIs 0-4 are broken. As such, e.g. =app-text/lv-4.51-r3 being EAPI 4 breaks when ROOT!=/
I did some quick tests with portage master: ROOT=/ has_version works in EAPI 0, 1, and 2. ROOT=/ has_version does not seem to work in EAPI 3, 4, 5, 6.
This behavior probably changed with 43b6be7423aaebee26e4659d580a9a17b4fde01e. The old code did this: > local atom eroot host_root=false root=${ROOT} > > ... > > if ___eapi_has_prefix_variables; then > # [[ ${root} == / ]] would be ambiguous here, > # since both prefixes can share root=/ while > # having different EPREFIX offsets. > if ${host_root} ; then > eroot=${root%/}${PORTAGE_OVERRIDE_EPREFIX}/ > else > eroot=${root%/}${EPREFIX}/ > fi > else > eroot=${root} > fi eroot is then passed to the IPC daemon or portageq. Note that EROOT is not used here; eroot is always derived from ROOT. The new code does this: > case ${root_arg} in > "") if ___eapi_has_prefix_variables; then > root=${EROOT} > else > root=${ROOT} > fi ;; root is then passed to the IPC daemon or portageq. When we call ROOT=... has_version, EROOT is not recomputed with the new code, and so root gets the old value.

Thanks to Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> for finding the cause.
