Just after an emerge --sync I tried to update libtorrent and had this problem : >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-libs/libtorrent-0.12.4 * libtorrent-0.12.4.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

Works for me: * Applying libtorrent-0.12.4-gcc44.patch ... [ ok ] Please re-sync your portage tree and in case the error is gone, mark this bug as INVALID.
My bad. Dos line-endings.
This was caused by does line-endings (\r\n) in the patch instead of unix line-endings (\n). The stable version of patch doesn't cope with dos line-endings very well. + 05 Mar 2009; Peter Alfredsen <loki_val@gentoo.org> + files/libtorrent-0.12.4-gcc44.patch: + Fix dos line-endings in patch. Bug 261253. Thanks to Aelia + <diego.abelenda@gmail.com> for reporting. +
