well known bug.
This is because the binary api changed in the step from 1.0.x to 1.2.x in libpng


run /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/files/libpng-update-libs.sh

and see what needs to be updated. once those are working and re-emerged (good
time to do updates)
you can run 
/usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/files/libpng-update-bins.sh

and see what binaries need to be updated still.

or, you can revert libpng to 1.0.x version instead.
