You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's AR (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar) and calls directly /usr/bin/ar The possible solutions to fix this issue are: 1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can; 2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export AR 3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake AR="$(tc-getAR)" From the build log: ar cru .libs/libgdbm.a gdbmopen.o gdbmdelete.o gdbmfetch.o gdbmstore.o gdbmclose.o gdbmreorg.o gdbmseq.o gdbmsync.o gdbmerrno.o gdbmexists.o gdbmfdesc.o gdbmsetopt.o bucket.o falloc.o findkey.o global.o hash.o update.o version.o

This appears to have been addressed upstream. As no package version or build log is attached, I can go no further then to say "no fault found" for version 1.11.
