I think it should not write in this phase to that directory. That directory is the wrong place anyways.

Attach the whole build log, for a start.

wow...

Looking at that build log I wonder just how this package didn't earned a permanent package.mask entry from QA.

Anyway, it seems something odd happens right at the beginning:
 [32;01m*[0m perl Build.PL --installdirs=vendor --libdoc= --destdir=/var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/Alien-SDL-1.444.0/image/ --create_packlist=0 --with-sdl-config
Unknown option: installdirs
Unknown option: libdoc
Unknown option: destdir
Unknown option: create_packlist
Unknown option: with-sdl-config

so, it seems that destdir isn't getting passed correctly.

...to clarify, what I see as a reason for pmask, is not the build failure by itself, but embedding libs and fetching outside the fetch phase.

[Comment 5 Rafał Mużyło 2014-07-30 14:08:07 UTC]

...*bundling* libs...

there are multiple QA issues. Masked in general.
