sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r7 doesn't install /lib/libcap.so symlink, which breaks compilation of multiple packages depending on it. Please fix soon.
Could you give an example of such a program? The r7 revision was created exactly for fixing such compilation problems caused by missing /usr/lib/libcap.so (see Bug# 140136).
E.g. net-dns/avahi-0.6.11, latest jack, mplayer... (USE="caps")
None of this use libcap. You probably just have a broken pax-utils. Try running revdep-rebuild.
/lib/libcap.so is not needed as there is /usr/lib/libcap.so

Sorry, but it still fails, possibly due to a dep on hal.
