2 things to add: 1) It installs just fine and all tests pass when I do it manually (make test). 2) 1.18 is fairly outdated, there is 1.40.1 which was released 9(!) months ago.
1.40.1a is now in portage
Thanks. BTW: Why is it in sys-devel and not in dev-util? It's not a system package.
couldnt tell you, i didnt add it but you're right it should be moved ... i'll do so shortly
