I wanted to say. reemerging libpng and netpbm does not solve the problem.
With media-libs/netpbm-10.48.00, I observe the same problem (which I noticed because it crashes the doc build for coq). pngtopnm seems to fail always, e.g.: pngtopnm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Libconf/libconf_powered.png Masking media-libs/netpbm-10.48.00 and thus reverting to media-libs/netpbm-10.46.00-r1 appears to work. (The stabilisation comment in the ChangeLog for media-libs/netpbm-10.48.00 also does look a bit unusual.) (I am in a 32bit userland on ppc64 (PowerMac G5).)
