On my stable amd64 system emerge wants to upgrade the currently stable version of mutt (1.5.24-r2) to 1.8.0 due to stable app-crypt/gpgme moving to 1.8.0-r2. However, mutt-1.8.0 will not compile on my system, it fails with: >>> Emerging (3 of 8) mail-client/mutt-1.8.0::gentoo * mutt-1.8.0.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

Oops. My mistake. I had an older version of the user patch code from the Gentoo Wiki in my /etc/portage/bashrc, which undefined epatch for some reason. Updated to the latest bashrc from the Wiki and everything now compiles fine. Closed as Resolved-Invalid.
