I'm having the same problem.  It appears that the offending line is:

    if (!((MYSQL *) psql = mysql_init((MYSQL *) 0)))

And the error is:

opensql.c:95: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

The problem is that extended lvalues were deprecated in gcc 3.4 and went away
in 4.0.  The solution is to not use cheesy coding tricks.  The following works
with gcc versions >= 4.0:

ALSO, this package overwrites the files from net-mail/ezmlm-idx so the two of
them should block each other.  Bug #220735
