just emerge sync'd and tried to upgrade my sylpheed-claws, however the build process stops with the following error: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync && emerge sylpheed-claws 2. 3.

You need gettext-0.12 if you have nls in your USE flags which is not in portage yet. Either emerge with USE=-nls or install gettext-0.12 (existing ebuild for 0.11.5 should work).
the 0.11.5 includes ugly patch disgused as a hack in unpack() to fix some emacs related stuff in misc/Makefile.in. gettext-0.12 does not contain such a subdirectory. removing that hack makes both gettext and sylpheed work
I just bumped gettext to 0.12 and added dependency to sylpheed-claws. Should be fixed now.
thanks Hanno, genone told me this last night as I was about to goto bed.
