I already have ispell 3.2.0-r5 and portage wants to upgrade.  Here's what I get 
using pretty standard CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium4 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -
pipe" on a i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.2.3 compiler:

Opps mispelled summary and I checked again after another sync but it still fails 
like above

emerge miscfiles

Thanks for the tip. miscfiles was already installed, but remerging it fixed it; odd.
