Richard: Is this still a problem for you? have you tried remerging the application that gives you that .la file? use qpkg -f path/to/file from gentoolkit to find what package if that doesnt work might try a -e transcode and see fi that helps
No problem anymore. Sorry I thought I kept track on my bugs but obviously I missed this one ;-) Closing it.
