I am accepting ~x86 for perl and libperl both

I noticed this only began after the introduction of the ithreads use flag:

[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend   : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags        ]
[          : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]

 U I [ Found these USE variables in : sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5-r1 ]
 + + berkdb   : Adds support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL)
 - - debug    : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging.
Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS.
Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too
 + + gdbm     : Adds support for sys-libs/gdbm (GNU database libraries)
 + - ithreads : Enable Perl threads, has some compatibility problems
 - - uclibc   : Enable uclibc specific patches and build or link uclibc
 - - debug    : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging.
Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS.
Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too

The pp_sys.c modules does build with USE="-ithreads":

`sh  cflags "optimize='-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer'" pp_sys.o` -fPIC pp_sys.c
          CCCMD =  gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer  -Wall
`sh  cflags "optimize='-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer'" doop.o` -fPIC doop.c
          CCCMD =  gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer  -Wall

Going to close this since its been 9 months and no dev has stopped in before me
(sorry about that really).

Why bother having ithreads in your use flags at all if your going to emerge perl
with -ithreads? It's a perl local use flag...

closing per email - thanks :)
