I'm guessing your autoconf or automake are incorrect versions for use with
PAN, so they create errors in generating the configure scripts.  Running
Gentoo ~amd64, the ~ indicating unstable, and with Gentoo being a
from-source based distro, those types of errors aren't entirely unfamiliar
to me.  Once I get the correct build environment, the errors seem to
disappear and everything "just works".
