While compiling gnome-libs-1.4.2 I get several permission denied warnings and finally gnome-libs stops emerging with "undefined reference to `__db185_open_4002'" I think it is a sandbox error.

with FEATURES="-userpriv -usersandbox" gnome-libs still doesn't build. with FEATURES="-sandbox -userpriv -usersandbox" gnome-libs seems to build properly
I think it could be a db-1 error, but it's better if you attach the full log of the compilation and your config.log. It could be related to bug #113060
need more info, as stated in comment #2
