I newly got this error today: $ fortune fortune: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/librecode.so.0: undefined symbol: program_name $ ldd -r /usr/bin/fortune undefined symbol: program_name (/usr/lib/librecode.so.0) linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffa37c6000) librecode.so.0 => /usr/lib/librecode.so.0 (0x00007ff07d9d8000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0000003f17800000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003f16200000) If you can't reproduce this, let me know what lib supplies that symbol for you, so we can work out where the cause for this lies.

================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= app-text/recode-3.6_p17-r1 was built with the following: USE="(multilib) nls"
I can reproduce this issue with a new app-text/recode-3.6_p17-r1 build, while app-text/recode-3.6_p17 used to work fine. To see this for yourself, you can "ldd -r /usr/lib/librecode.so" without having to have fortune installed. On a wild guess, I'd assume that this line here might be to blame: cp lib/error.c lib/xstrdup.c lib/getopt.c lib/getopt1.c src/ || die ...
It's recode-3.6-ppc-macos-new.diff that's causing trouble. Changing that back to recode-3.6-ppc-macos.diff makes things work again for me, although I believe it might break things for ppc-macos, FreeBSD and Interix, according to ebuild comment. Nevertheless, I'm not sure what problem the patch is supposed to fix, but I assume it might break more things than it actually fixes, at least as long as most Gentoo systems are Linux-based. So if there is no immediate solution, either consider applying the patch conditionally, or dropping the patch together with the arches in question.
It looks as if this entire patch isn't necessary any more for Darwin and Solaris at least. I've dropped the entire mess, which should fix this bug.
