Ekiga 2.0.9 crashes on startup with message: Failed to read a valid object file image from memory. This version used to work correctly until recently. I believe one of recent world updates broke it.

You need reemerge emerge -1 pwlib emerge -1 opal with this path: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184542 enjoy
Cheers mate. I've applied the patch from your link to pwlib, reemerged pwlib and opal and that worked flawlessly. I don't know if I should change status to invalid, as it's opal/pwlib bug.. but I did. morda.
