Did you try rebuilding x11-libs/libgoffice?
OK, I may have pulled the trigger too soon. On further searching, I guess the problem lies with goffice not libpcre (or gnumeric). Grabbing the patch suggested at https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=goffice-0_8-pcre-8_30.patch&package=goffice-0_8&project=home%3Adimstar%3Abranches%3AGNOME%3AApps&rev=b92fb787d233925a583440bc3c6fd0f9, and emending the ebuild for goffice-0.8.17 to include this patch allows gnumeric-1.10.17 to build and execute correctly. I've attached a suggested ebuild and patch for goffice-0.8.17 below. My apologies to gentoo devs for the confusion ... //Rolf

Thank you all for reporting. This bug was caused by goffice's configure failing to detect regex support in glib and activating the libpcre-based workaround that had been needed for <glib-2.15.1. That libpcre-based code is completely unnecessary for any version of glib currently in portage, and therefore, it has been removed in goffice-0.8.17-r1. The issue should now be fixed. >*goffice-0.8.17-r1 (20 Apr 2012) > > 20 Apr 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > +goffice-0.8.17-r1.ebuild, +files/goffice-0.8.17-no-pcre.patch: > Prevent goffice from accidentally linking to pcre and causing "undefined > symbol: pcre_info" errors (bug #404271)
