I can't emerge iproute2-2.6.7.20040608-r1 because of wrong path to included header in misc/arpd.c:19. After removing line 62 (sed -i 's:db41/db_185:db_185:' misc/arpd.c || die "sed misc/arpd.c failed") from the ebuild, the error is gone.

I don't know why, but on other machines /usr/include/db_185.h is a symlink to /usr/include/db4.1/db_185.h. Some other paket must have messed that symlink. So I apologize for this obvisouly invalid bug.
The symlink went to the wrong version on my system too. Maybe a problem with another ebuild not updating the symlink?
Please change the status of this bug! I have the same problem, but with me, removing the sed line nor changing symlinks does help. The symlink is on my system to db4/db_185.h which indeed contains db_185.h. Removing sed line leads to other compile problems. Here is the compile error with unchanged ebuild: ssfilter.y: conflicts: 27 shift/reduce arpd.o(.text+0x1282): In function `main': /var/tmp/portage/iproute2-2.6.7.20040608-r1/work/iproute2-2.6.7/misc/arpd.c:670: undefined reference to `__db185_open_4000' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [arpd] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

changing symlink to db4.1/db_185.h solves the issue, but this should still be solved
