I could (inconsistently) reproduce this error on my machine. 
The error is caused by the following line in the ebuild: 
 
	grep -v man hier.c | grep -v doc > hier.c 
 
It seems that the above command occasionally trips over itself 
resulting in hier.c becoming a zero-byte file (which explains why 
we receive an "undefined reference to `hier'" message.) 
 
Altering hier.c via epatch is one way to avoid this problem.

Note: this patch incorporates the existing gentoo patch file. :)

fixed in CVS.
I didn't go the patch route, I just changed the command setup slightly to not destroy data.

I fixed the head -1 issue with the package at the same time.
