Weird looking errors... libtool file seems to have gotten clobbered. Please attach the full build log to help make sense of this.
Oh yeah, remember to attach output of 'emerge --info' as well.
I've installed the version 0.9.1 of VLC and the installation works properly. There are some bugs in that version too, and i'm gonna report them according to their severity. This bug is now closed and marked as FIXED since version 0.9.1 solves the problem encountered in version 0.9.0
