It is just extra (not needed) code. econf() has died by itself since BEFORE 2005. git blame shows this commit: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;f=bin/ebuild.sh;h=d9fc4acc572c6647a4f27b838d35d27d805d190e which is a migration commit into svn from cvs (without history) in 2005. So novelty or not, whatever, not needed. :) (Besides the numerous threads about 'which helpers die by themself and not' - its easy to read the code, esp bash) -Jeremy
