Wild guess: what version of sys-libs/db do you have?

I have db-1.85-r3 and db-4.3.29-r2 installed

Comment 5 Yuval Yaari (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 01:04:27 UTC 
Could you try emerging with 4.2.52_p2-r1 ?
Possibly an upstream bug...
Comment 6 Alexander Hsia 2006-09-13 08:59:20 UTC 
I uninstalled db-4.3* and emerged db-4.2.52_p2-r1 but perl-5.8.8-r2 still fails to compile. It dies pretty much with the same error as before
Comment 7 Antoine Raillon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 10:42:53 UTC 
Wild guess n
Comment 8 Antoine Raillon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 10:42:53 UTC 
Wild guess n°2 :
did you try to run revdep-rebuild recently ?
the output of revdep-rebuild -p could be useful ;)
Comment 9 Yuval Yaari (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 10:49:23 UTC 
I was more afraid of 1.85-r3(1).
Could you try removing it, as well? (Sorry! :)
Comment 10 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-13 10:54:37 UTC 
Actually let me butt in here.  Try installing perl without the berkdb USE flag.  Then attempt to emerge perl-core/DB_File.  I want to see if maybe the outside maintained module works fine, because if so we can pull code from there, set it as a depend instead.
Comment 11 Chris White (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-16 18:12:38 UTC 
Resolved as TEST-REQUEST till suggested actions are taken and feedback given.
Comment 12 Alexander Hsia 2006-09-19 12:06:21 UTC 
Removing the berkdb flag allows perl-5.8.8-r2 to emerge successfully. However, emerging perl-core/DB_File afterwards does not work. Emerging DB_File ends with a lot of errors, as follows in attachment

DB_File emerge logfile
Comment 14 Yuval Yaari (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-19 12:14:34 UTC 
I still think it's BerkeleyDB 1.85-r3(1) :-)
Any chance you could try removing it and check again?
