Does it also happen with recent gs versions, e.g. 9.04? Also please attach emerge --info.

It's added in exactly two commands, namely the linking of gsc and gsx. Otherwise the build is clean.
gs buildsystem is a rather arcane piece of software. I've tried... Resolving as cantfix since the linking wont copy any debug symbols that have not been generated before during compilation.
