Created attachment 69635 [details, diff] Patch fixing the scepclient compilation problem Since in the current development stage scepclient doesn't need libcurl yet, the patch fixes the compilation problem by removing -lcurl from the Makefile.
2.5.6 is in portage now and fixes this issue. It was a bug in a makefile.
