Hi Kevin,

I see automake-1.5 and a "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE must be used" message.  Do:
automake --version to see which version it is.  On ~x86, I think
automake should be 1.9.x by default?

If its not 1.9.x, try:
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 emerge sablevm-svn

If not, my most recent ebuilds are here:
http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/~dbelan2/ebuilds/dev-java/sablevm-svn/

The sablevm-svn-20041129-r1 should still work and it should be the same
as the report, I just tried it.  The
December one applies additional cross-compilation patch and should work
equally well though requires files in files/ directory.

If you still encounter problem, report back with the output from "emerge info".
