I'm trying to do an emerge -uD lilypond. Get's the following error:

Font `feta11'...

Assembling font to `feta11.pfa'... This is t1asm 1.2.
t1asm: invalid option -- -
usage: t1asm [-b] [-l block-length] [input [output]]
 
-b means output in PFB format, otherwise PFA format.
The block length applies to the length of blocks in the
PFB output file; the default is to use the largest possible.

It looks like your t1asm (part of t1utils) is incompatible with your mftrace.  Try 't1asm --version' and 'mftrace --version' to check.  You should have at least 1.25 an 1.0.19, respectively.  Try 'emerge t1utils mftrace' to get them up to date.  (I'd re-emerge these even if they appear up to date.)  If you still have trouble, post the output of 'emerge info', any new error messages, and the versions of t1asm and mftrace.

If you want to try something newer, there is a lilypond 2.0.0 ebuild in portage and a 2.0.1 ebuild at bug 30205, but it would be helpful to get 1.8.2 working first.

Bingo! - reemerge of t1utils and mftrace did the trick.
