Here is what happens when i merge: 
 
>>> emerge (2 of 2) net-im/gaim-0.61 to / 
>>> md5 ;-) gaim-0.61.tar.bz2 
>>> md5 ;-) encrypt-1.18.tar.gz 
>>> Unpacking source... 
>>> Unpacking gaim-0.61.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gaim-0.61/work 
ssl 
>>> Unpacking encrypt-1.18.tar.gz to 
/var/tmp/portage/gaim-0.61/work/gaim-0.61/plugins

lots more of the above errors with perl.o. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Make sure your USE includes "perl", then 
emerge gaim 
Actual Results:  
the errors 

Expected Results:  
sucessful emerge 

I had gaim 0.59.8 before. I never got gaim-0.59.8-r1 to emerge because it also had 
build problems. Also, I have perl 5.8.0-r10.

[Comment 1 Seth Chandler 2003-04-18 13:41:53 UTC]

did you tell perl to merge with threads?

[Comment 2 Seth Chandler 2003-04-19 14:41:45 UTC]

well take threads out of your use variable and remerge perl, then emrege gaim

gaim doesn't play nie with perl threads
