automake failure when installing ghostscript @8.70

I have done the Migration fire drill.

So it's the same error as #21098 but this time the error persists after rebuilding ports.

Can you tell us about your perl? What perl ports are installed? For what architectures?

[snc@…]

Have you completed the Migration upgrade to 1.8.0, successfully cleaning and rebuilding all your ports?

[jwz@…]

Yes, I have done the Migration thing.

What do you want to know about Perl? I think it's all default-ly:

port installed | grep perl
  ImageMagick @6.5.5-0_0+jbig+lcms+perl+q32 (active)
  perl5 @5.8.9_0 (active)
  perl5.8 @5.8.9_3 (active)

Can't reproduce.
