I'm trying to install gnucash 1.8.11 and, in so doing, I ran into this bug: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) gnome-base/gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r4 to / >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) >>> checking gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.gz ;-) >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r4/work * Applying gnome-vfs-1.0.5-codeset.patch ...

(no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. My comment is too long, so I'm attaching the rest.
Here's the rest of my original comment: I found this: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/gnome-base/gnome-vfs which suggests commenting out line 57 of /usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-vfs/gnome-vfs-1.0.5-r4.ebuild. Line 57 of that file is this: aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal/gnome-macros || die I created an ebuild in /usr/local/portage/gnome-base/gnome-vfs that was identical to the stock gnome-vfs ebuild except that my overlay version has line 57 commented out. This overlay builds and installs, but I'm wary of randomly disabling aclocal commands. The page I linked to above (on gentoo-portage.com) also suggests that gnome-vfs is missing the libpcre dependency, but I have libpcre installed (version 6.3, which could be the "wrong" version, I guess).
