A tip from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-487360-highlight-cdk.html led me to the workaround. Although the problem mentioned in the post is different from this one, it works. I upgraded libtool from 1.5.22 to 1.5.26. This solved the problem, as cdk installed normally after that.
You found your fix. libtool 1.5.22 has been removed from the tree months ago.
(In reply to comment #2) Should't the libtool dependency in the cdk ebuild be: DEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2 >=sys-devel/libtool-1.5.24" instead of DEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2 sys-devel/libtool"
