On amd64, manually emerging hesiod fails (also (~)amd64 isn't in the keywords, and if fixed, should be added), because it fails to link against -lreslov To get it to build, one can do 'LDFLAGS="-lreslov" emerge /usr/portage.../hesiod-3.0.2.ebuild This is a dependancy of sendmail (which also works after this has been done on amd64, so should probably have (~)amd64 added to it's keywords as well) This bugreport is filed when in a chroot from RH, but it also fails with the gentoo kernel & no chroot.
