Same problem here, with both 22.1 and 22.1-r1 ebuild. BUT: I have emacs-22.1-r1 installed (on Thu Sep 6 16:10:19 2007), which means that something has changed outside the emacs ebuild which spoiled it. Among the things I have updated from then on: libtool, python, portage (which is my suspected no. 1). NOTE: my 21.4 ebuilds of emacs still work.
This seems to be dup of bug #192923 It looks like Jakub took a day off; I had never seen 56 bugs assigned to Wrangler. It may help if bug creator marked this bug dup himself; would save Jakub's time when he is back. Also see bugs #192927 #192951 #192947 #192942 #192903 #192894
Already fixed for app-editors/emacs-22* and app-editors/emacs-cvs.
