Which ebuild is this about? Always put ebuild name into bug summary.
Sorry. My bad. The URL includes a patch from FreeBSD that solves the problem. I think this actually only shows up on AMD64, which requires PIC; I can't verify this, however. I'm currently patching up tetex myself to test that patch.
Just to clarify. The bug is in tetex, specifically libkpathsea. The effect, however, is to make certain other packages, like evince, that links against it, fail to build.
Some interesting documents if you are fixing this yourself. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-internals.xml http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/pax/misc/check-textrel http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pie-ssp.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-guide.xml There is another one that tells you how to enable PIC in an ebuild but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
I patched the Makefile.in for kpathsea, similar (but not identical) to the FreeBSD people. It makes Evince compile, and so GNOME 2.12 install, in any case. I'd provide the patch, but it seems that the 'hack the Makefile.in' is not the preferred method for ebuilds. I don't have any more time to keep on this bug - so I'm unlikely to be able to contribute to the community on this one. It is a problem that WILL affect AMD64 users however, so it might be an idea to add some platform devs to this bug.
*** Bug 108315 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
tetex 3.0 has a dynamic libkpathsea.. and has the right pic stuff ...
*** Bug 119826 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Closing as tetex-3.0_p1-r3 is stable now.
