Problem is not sslh itself, but rather the ebuild (well, Makefile is not totaly "evident" either). What I get with the regular ebuild without having tcp-wrappers installed: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-misc/sslh-1.7a * sslh-1.7a.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * Package: net-misc/sslh-1.7a * Repository: gentoo * USE: elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU x86 * FEATURES: ccache sandbox userpriv usersandbox >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking sslh-1.7a.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/sslh-1.7a/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/sslh-1.7a/work >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/sslh-1.7a/work/sslh-1.7a ... >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/sslh-1.7a/work/sslh-1.7a ... >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/net-misc/sslh-1.7a/work/sslh-1.7a ... make -j5 CC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc USELIBWRAP=0 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -DLIBWRAP -D'VERSION="v1.7a"' -o sslh sslh.c -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -lwrap pod2man --section=8 --release="v1.7a" --center=" " sslh.pod | gzip -9 - > sslh.8.gz sslh.c:41:18: erreur: tcpd.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type sslh.c: In function ‘check_access_rights’: sslh.c:251: attention : implicit declaration of function ‘hosts_ctl’ sslh.c:251: erreur: ‘STRING_UNKNOWN’ undeclared (first use in this function) sslh.c:251: erreur: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sslh.c:251: erreur: for each function it appears in.) sslh.c: In function ‘setup_syslog’: sslh.c:334: attention : ignoring return value of ‘asprintf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result make: *** [sslh] Erreur 1 make: *** Attente des tâches non terminées.... emake failed So the faulty part in the ebuild may be: src_compile() { emake \ CC="$(tc-getCC)" \ USELIBWRAP=$(use tcpd && echo 1 || echo 0) \ || die } In fact, the Makefile of sslh is not very consistent, as it expect USELIBWRAP to be null if no libwrap feature: ifneq ($(strip $(USELIBWRAP)),) LIBS:=$(LIBS) -lwrap CFLAGS:=$(CFLAGS) -DLIBWRAP endif So, a suggestion maybe: src_compile() { emake \ CC="$(tc-getCC)" \ USELIBWRAP=$(use tcpd && echo 1) \ || die } I tested the modified ebuild with and without tcpd, it compiles fines.
No maintainers in metadata, but not marked as maintainer-needed, so assigning to the person, who put it in the tree.

(In reply to comment #2) Not to nitpick, but could you either add yourself to metadata or mark it as maintainer-needed ?
