I'm currently preparing one of my embedded system for a test-run and noticed that a *binary* package of media-libs/libpng pulls in the autofoo-stuff.
I went looking for the reason, looked into the eutils, multilib and finally autotools eclasses and saw that the autotools.eclass is setting the DEPEND but not the RDEPEND. IIRC portage-2.1 is now setting RDEPEND to DEPEND if nothing other is assigned within the ebuild/eclass. So the simplest fix would be to assign RDEPEND="" in the eclass [1]. If no-one objects, I will commit the changes on monday.

Christian Heim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
autotools.eclass is needlessly pulling in sys-devel/automake,
sys-devel/automake-wrapper, sys-devel/autoconf, sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper
sys-devel/gnuconfig, sys-apps/texinfo sys-devel/libtool, sys-devel/m4 and
dev-lang/perl including dependencies for binary packages. Prevent portage
from setting RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}" by setting RDEPEND="" explicitly!
