When compiling qgis with USE=python it claims that "SIP is required in version 4.7 or later!" and refuses to build with python support, although I have sip-4.10.2 installed. I'm on ~amd64. >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sci-geosciences/qgis-1.4.0-r1 * qgis_1.4.0.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...

Created attachment 237745 [details, diff] patch to fix the sip detection I found a way to patch this. The issue is fixed in the next qgis version. See URL and attached patch.
Will rather stabilise 1.7.0.
