First install (not reinstall or upgrade) of libcap-2.11 fails due to missing
header "sys/capability.h":

...
_makenames.c:10:28: error: sys/capability.h: No such file or directory
_makenames.c:25: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type
'struct __user_cap_data_struct' 
make[1]: *** [_makenames] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/build/paludis/sys-libs-libcap-2.11/work/libcap-2.11/libcap'
make: *** [all] Error 2
...

The missing header is part of libcap itself and hence is missing when
installing for the first time. See also the URL pointing to sourcemage
bugzilla.

A simple workaround is to install libcap-2.10 and then upgrade.

just a simple typo in the build patch ... dont know why sourcemage matters
since we arent using their code base
