Manually emerging expat with multilib fixes the problem
Thanks Markos, I had the same problem -- building expat with the added USE flag helped dbus build correctly. Cheers //rolf
It doesn't need expat for the libraries. I thought we had a workaround for that configure check.
+ 16 Nov 2014; Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> dbus-1.8.10.ebuild: + Fake expat check for configure, bug #529546. Add missing ||die calls.
