hmm, sorry, could you attach build.log? /var/tmp/portage/app-i18n/skim-1.4.5-r2/temp/build.log
Hmm I tried to emerge it again today and it succeeded. There were some other packages updated between the time when it failed and now. As I can't provide more information, let's consider that as fixed (although I was unable to emerge skim on my new system for almost 2 months because of that problem)
