This error seems to occur after upgrading db3 to db-3.2.9-r8. The bsddb3-3.4.0-db3.patch changes -ldb to -ldb-3. In pre r8 ebuilds there is a function within the ebuild called fix_so () that is executed; in the db-3.2.9-r8 ebuild the db_fix_so function (from the db.eclass) is executed instead. These functions are a little different and one of the results of using db_fix_so is that the libdb-3.so link gets deleted.
should be fixed now, sorry about the breakage, i missed that when I wrote db.eclass.
