The compilation of the man-db package fails with the following error when the use flag "nls" is set.

PERL5LIB=. po4a --variable srcdir=../../man --variable builddir=../../man --variable podir=./tmp-po --keep 0 ./po4a.cfg

do you have gettext installed ?  it provides `msgmerge`.

I have =sys-devel/gettext-0.19.4 installed and I had verified that it's available on the PATH. But now that you have asked the question I tried to execute it and I got a:

msgmerge: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I checked and libgomp.so.1 belongs to gcc. I have recently done a binary installation of this package (which I have from another system). It's still weird to me as I thought I have checked that it's configured the same way (USE-flags) and the installation was for gcc-4.9.3 but as you can see in the emerge --info the compilation was still happening with gcc-4.8

Anyway I think the issue can be closed. I have to fix my system. Thanks for the response!
