Well first off there were some problems with the ebuild that should probably be cleared up before it's marked as stable. I have to manually set the USE flag to either: gd, gd-external, or cpdflib. Or enable those flags in package.use A similar problem occurs when emerge realizes that berkdb wants dba in the USE flags.. But the largest problem is libtool fails when linking libphp5.la which i think is due to a bad glibc or gcc installation, see additional information for the large paste. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Ok well I did some poking around and then tried a (probably unsafe and not very good) solution: ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2 the result was.. libtool ran fine but then it gave this warning: libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.2/libstdc++.la' seems to be moved
I get the same problem with many applications, kdetv was one and resolved it for the time being by making the symlink as above.
Not a PHP bug. It's a GCC bug that failed to call /sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh properly (long since fixed)
