same problem for www-plugins/gnash-0.8.7:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib64/libpng12.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib64/libpng12.la'

Remove all those symlinks you may have created and re-emerge libpng-1.4.3, and read the postinst message.
It has a script you need to run to fix .la files.
