Sorry for the to fast report : after a third re-emerge of perl, it works
since it took to me too 3 emerge to install it successfully
since it took to me too 3 emerge to install it successfullyù(same error reported here), i guess it's a kind of bug and it should be fixed. Please reopen the bug.

Ok, if I'm not alone with this problem, it can be a bug
Perl failed for me with the same error. libperl-5.8.5 emerged without problems.

After deleting /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so from my old perl-5.8.4 installation, the emerge of perl-5.8.5 went without problems. But it could be just a coincidence as others have reported that the ebuild emerged sucessfully for them after some retries.
In most cases, when you get sporadic results between multiple emerges of a package such as perl, it can be attributed to inaccurate or excessive CFLAGS. I noticed that two of you have fairly aggressive CFLAGS. I think to rule this out, you'll want to "dumb down" your CFLAGS a bit to the basics. I would suggest dropping any '-f' options other than possibly unroll-loops. Usually -pipe is safe as well. Regarding '-O' try 2 or below. I have read a bit on '-Os' and it seems safe, but I don't have first hand experience with it. With something such as perl, you usually want to reduce any excessive optimization to avoid problems down the road. Please try reducing your CFLAGS (and confirm in the gcc info and man pages that the remaining options are sane on your hardware) and recompiling gcc, binutils, glibc, and perl. You can do this in a chroot as to not blow away your system's perl if you are dead set on these CFLAGS.
And for note, emerge perl with perl threading enabled (not the same as posix threading) means you are guaranteed to have problems with some applications.
closing out, no follow up in months.
