This version on Perl is broken. When I tryin' to compile gaim w/ perl flag, or gnumeric, I see this error: *** Warning: Linking the shared library perl_loader.la against the *** static library /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a is not portable! x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared .libs/boot.o .libs/perl-loader.o .libs/perl-gnumeric.o .libs/xsinit.o /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/CORE -lperl -lpthread -lnsl -ldl -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lm -march=athlon64 -Wl,-soname -Wl,perl_loader.so -o .libs/perl_loader.so /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a(DynaLoader.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Same library..

And by the way.. If I emerge -r1 Perl, then >>> app-office/gnumeric-1.6.0 merged. :-)
I had the same issues with the new version of the perl ebuild, when I was trying to install mod_perl It appears that between 5.8.7-r1 and -r2 a patch to solve this very problem was commented out in the ebuild. I copied the ebuild to my portage overlay dir, uncommented the patch, remerged perl, and then everything worked again. This is the line (line 94 of perl-5.8.7-r2.ebuild): cd ${S}; epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-picdl.patch
that was a mistake on my part mixing a test environment with a commit environment. if you emerge sync the patch is uncommented again.
