Today the downgrade from dev-libs/json-c-0.11 to to dev-libs/json-c-0.10-r1 led to same error!
Are you going to reopen this bug?

Well, at least updated virtualbox-bin ebuild(s) rdepend on <dev-libs/json-c-0.11, so it might be wise to patch old version(s) as well.
Comment 8 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-29 12:24:32 UTC
correct, this is the only ebuild that needs an old json-c.
