I dont know. I suppose not. How this package is supposed to be compiled is:

make configure
configure
make
make install

since I do the sed'ing of configure.ac before 'make configure' (which
created 'configure' script in the first place) I assume that eautoreconf
is not needed. I still tried it in 'various places' but no success. Let
me say again that I checked that the configure script is actually
modified and running the parts of the ebuild outside of portage works as
it should.

The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other
mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody
has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why
should software be any different?
