Description
The emerge failure:
```
version probe: autoconf 2.69.0...(fail) 0.0.0
ERROR: minimum required autoconf version is 2.69.0 and /usr/bin/autoconf is 0.0.0
```
We have a static ebuild for `handbrake` in our tree. I tried updating it to `handbrake-1.9.2`, but found that perhaps our `ffmpeg` is too old:
```
In file included from ../libhb/hb.c:11:
../libhb/handbrake/hbffmpeg.h:23:10: fatal error: libavutil/ambient_viewing_environment.h: No such file or directory
23 | #include "libavutil/ambient_viewing_environment.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
Maybe it needs a USE flag turned on.

Research direction
Start with the static handbrake ebuild and reproduce the reported emerge failure. Check the autoconf version probe and the ffmpeg dependency related to libavutil/ambient_viewing_environment.h; the work is done when media-video/handbrake emerges successfully.
