@reporter, you mostlikely need to rebuild your perl modules as it says at the end of the perl ebuild. This bug is almost a dupe of bug #59055 which will tell you what to do. @gnome, I didn't mark it a dupe because there is no dep on intltool in the gcalcbuild.
"emerge --oneshot --nodeps XML-Parser" did allow gcalctool to go ahead and build.
guess nobody ever noticed because nobody ever installs gcalctool seperate.. anyway.. fixed & thnx for the report
