3.

Actual Results:  
Failed to compile.

Expected Results:  
To compile sucessfully.

does libidn-0.5.11 fail?

I have the same problem, also on amd64.

I tested compiling libidn-0.5.11 and it compiled fine.  So the problem is with some change in 0.5.11-r1.

I second Jonathan's comments.

those who echo comments please state your system type and which use flags (out
of java doc pic nls are being used).

Please play around with the use flags and identifiy which one is causing the
problem.

Fiddling with the USE flags did it.  I made it work by doing this:
# USE="pic" emerge libidn

Patch against the ebuild for pic problem

Fixes it in the .ebuild, assuming this only occurs on amd64

Hrm, a small mistake in the patch

fixed (hopefully) - thanks Daniel.
