Adding 'append-ldflags -llber' to the top of src_configure() fixes issue.
In my case liblber.so comes from net-nds/openldap.

Discussion on Debian suggests it might have something with ld.gold: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555585

Thanks Jarek!

Changing my linker from ld.gold to ld.bfd and it emerged correctly.
