All versions of dev-util in portage fail to build. This does not appear to be a problem with the git ebuild itself, as I have previously built and used several versions. It may be a problem with the perl build being newer than the git Makefile, but I don't know how to resolve it. All versions fail with the following error: BUILTIN git-pack-refs * new Tcl/Tk interpreter location GEN gitk-wish SUBDIR git-gui GITGUI_VERSION = 0.7.5 * new locations or Tcl/Tk interpreter GEN

Your system clock is broken.
My system clock is synced via NTP. From my logs, it appears to be well within 0.1s of a set of level-2 NTP servers. I am fairly confident that is not the problem. On what evidence do you make this claim?
> Makefile out-of-date with respect to /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/Config.pm You've emerged perl w/ broken system clock, sorry.
I just rebuilt dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r4 and have the same result. Note that I am *not* seeing the usual "time stamp 2005-04-24 19:03:41 is 103940523.796288707 s in the future" error messages that I would expect to see if the system clock was seriously out of whack. This appears to be related: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-556397-highlight-makefile+outofdate+respect.html
Created attachment 136794 [details, diff] Fix for git build problem. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
Fix your system clock instead of 'fixing' the ebuild. Thanks.
