After exploring the files created by configure I tranced the problem to the
smpeg library.  After re-emerging this library, penguin-command rebuilds fine. 
I'm not sure how the smpeg library ended up with a problem - it was emerged and
up to date.  I wouldn't pursue this unless somebody else is having the same problem.

any thoughts/ideas as to what changed ?

Unfortunately I noticed a few errors that referenced the smpeg library in a log
file, and after I re-emerged smpeg I neglected to save the copy of the log with
the error in it - it was overwritten during the successful rebuild of
penguin-command.  I tried tinkering around to see if I could break smpeg again,
but was unable to do so.  This system has been through a number of versions of
portage as well as the big GCC upgrade, so the bug could have crept in anywhere...
