Hi,

I was emerging a gentoo package 'baselayout', which contains autoconf.
I ran across this and figured you might be interested.  The package
installed fine, so no problems here that I am aware of.  The warning
asked me to report, so i report...

my system config from gentoo's portage/emerge point of view:

beaker mrgoby # emerge --info
