I encountered this during a rebuild of an amd64 system after adding 32 to ABI_x86. Rebuilding sys-apps/util-linux before xapian solved it for me.

Just hit this with xapian-1.4.18 on a new Gentoo installation after adding "*/* abi_x86_32" to package.use and running "emerge -auDU @world". Manually emerging sys-apps/util-linux still works as a fix.
