When I ran revdep-rebuild (after updating my system), it was trying to emerge imlib2: >>> emerge (2 of 2) media-libs/imlib2-1.1.2 to / but it failed with this error: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl A little while ago, I accidentally ran emerge --update world (i.e. without putting --deep like I usually do), this gave some errors, then later I realized what I did and ran it again with --update and --deep, followed by emerge depclean. The error occurred when trying to run revdep-rebuild right after that. This may or may not be related to the bug. I don't really know what imlib2 is and I don't want it specifically but apparently something I want requires it.

Also, revdep-rebuild wants to build imagemagick-6.1.3.4. Each time I try it, it builds that successfully first but fails at imlib2. But then when I run the command again, it tries to build imagemagick again, even though it was already built. I tried the commands without revdep-rebuild, and they failed too, including trying to build imlib2 by itself.
Here's something else interesting: the revdep-rebuild command printed this output for ImageMagick: broken /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so (requires libltdl.so.3) libltdl is probably the same library as lltdl which the error message was mentioning.
not an imlib2 bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69705 ***
But bug 69705 says it's fixed in version 6.1.3.4. That's the version it's installing for me, so either that bug isn't fixed or this bug isn't a duplicate of it. I also noticed when I continuously run revdep-rebuild, it keeps re-installing imagemagick (i.e. some libraries are still broken). That might be related or it might be another bug.
just because you have the new imagemagick doesnt mean your libtool isnt broken you need to re-emerge libtool
Thanks, I think that fixed it. But how did libtool get broken in the first place? Is it because I was using a version of imagemagick earlier than 6.1.3.4 which caused that other bug? (Otherwise the fact that it was broken might itself be a bug).
