Upstream said that it looks like the autoconf wrapper is calling the wrong autoconf version.

The wrapper script really should be bright enough to notice the -o switch and that should imply it should use 2.5, but it is doing the intiuit of what version to use based on the following: # Executes the correct autoconf version. # # - defaults to autoconf-2.13 # - runs autoconf-2.59 if it exists and... # - envvar WANT_AUTOCONF is set to `2.5' # -or- # - configure.ac is present # -or- # - `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters # are stringwise greater than '2.13' # -or- # - `configure' is already present and was generated by autoconf greater than # '2.13' # -or- # - `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.6 or superior, which # specifically needs autoconf-2.59 # The workaround is to put the following into your environment: WANT_AUTOCONF=2.5; export WANT_AUTOCONF which should fix things. Another possibility which may fail unless you have the latest version of automake would be AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf-2.59; export AUTOCONF however that will give heartburn to the automake missing tests. Opening a bug report with the gentoo folks may also make sense. -- Mark >> stderr: >> Usage: autoconf [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir] >> [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--version] [template-file] >> >> >> configure.in: >> stSubDir/configure.in >> AC_INIT >> AC_FEATURE_CTYPE >> AC_FEATURE_ERRNO >> AM_CYGWIN32 >> AM_EXEEXT >> AM_FUNC_MKTIME >> AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL >> AM_MINGW32 >> AM_PROG_INSTALL >> AM_SANITY_CHECK_CC >> AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS >> fp_FUNC_FNMATCH >> fp_PROG_INSTALL >> md_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T >> >> >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBfm7x3x41pRYZE/gRAueHAJwOgGmqZG2ylDpmgZnq+KRqNacthACeLwCT x2DSw9hPo1BPSlVXHxi3Nsw= =GzRn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
this will be 'solved' by the new wrapper scripts anyways *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58255 ***
