Are you sure your libgd.a file is good? ar doesn't seem to recognize it. Sounds kinda obvious, I know, but ar probably doesn't call "libgd.a" unrecognizable on a whim.
Dan, this error happened during emerge -e world. I'll try to emerge nessus-core again, I hope it's only a temporary error.
Hmmm ... recompiling everything magically repaired this error. Since I can't reproduce it anymore I'll close it.
It looks like a temporary glitch, but it happens to me too. Also looks a lot like Bug 68105 - emerge --resume fixes things.
