I recently uninstalled media-sound/esound. I then tried to run mail-notification (from version 5.4) and it gave the following error:
mail-notification: error while loading shared libraries: libesd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found that mail-notification has no dependency upon esound and has no esd useflag

Then I tried to run emerge -v1 mail-notification. The following appeared in emerge's output:

<other configure scripts running and instances of the ``package esound not found in PKG_CONFIG_PATH>
checking for the GNU C library... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GNOME... no
WARNING: Package esound was not found in the pkg-config search path.
WARNING: Perhaps you should add the directory containing `esound.pc'

apparently, there is also a missing die statement in the mail-notification-5.4.ebuild. Emerge should fail when the build or emake fails. At least I get the dodoc files:

ohnobinki@ohnopublishing ~ $ qlist mail-notification
/usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/TODO.bz2
/usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/AUTHORS.bz2

/usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/README.bz2
/usr/share/doc/mail-notification-5.4/TRANSLATING.bz2

I am somewhat surprised that mail-notification is marked stable :-).

Have you tried to run "lafilefixer --justfixit" and then rebuild?
