I followed Spiders instruction for unmerging libiconv and rebuild glibc. But now kdelibs 3.0.1 won't build. I diged down that it fails because my libxslt still depend on libiconv. But a rebuild of libxslt-1.0.17 fails with the following output: make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/libxslt-1.0.17/work/libxslt-1.0.17/libexslt' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -o libexslt.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 7:8:7 exslt.lo common.lo math.lo sets.lo functions.lo strings.lo date.lo saxon.lo -L/usr/lib -lxslt -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lm -lm grep: /usr/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory sed: can't read /usr/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libiconv.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[2]: *** [libexslt.la] Error 1 I wasn't able to rebuild it, but finaly i unmerged libxslt-1.0.17 (with the builtin libiconv) and emerged it clean. It isn't really a bug, and i found a workaround, but i wan't to document this strange behaivor of libxslt because i haven't found it in bugzilla or the mailinglists.
Thanks, another one to the list of packages that link libiconv.
