I have emerged gplflash, which merged libflash. Both build OK. I also removed netscape flash. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gplflash 2. 3.

I too have this exact problem. The only difference is that I never installed any flavor of flash on my system. I noticed that the file "/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so" was not executable while other plugins were so I made it executable. That did not help.
