 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > I will have to compare your log with mine to see what's different.

 I didn't see any applicable differences between your log and mine, until
 the point where it fails. The only difference in the configure phase is
 that you have java installed and I don't.

 Your disk isn't formatted case-sensitive by chance is it? Mine is case-
 insensitive, the OS X default. However we use case-sensitive filesystems
 on the buildbot too so it shouldn't be a problem.

 Is your disk very fast—an SSD perhaps? If there is a timing problem (where
 doing one operation within the same second as another operation might
 cause a problem) a fast disk would make that more likely.

 Parallel building also adds some randomness and uncertainty to the build.
 It hasn't been a problem for gettext before, but for easier debugging, we
 could disable parallel building temporariliy.

 You could try running:

 {{{
 sudo port clean gettext
 sudo port upgrade gettext build.jobs=1
 }}}

 a few more times. See if it fails with the same automake error in the log
 each time.
