If you mean that you have symlinked /bin/sh to zsh then this isn't a bug. At least, not one that ought to be resolved by Gentoo. The reason is that zsh doesn't properly emulate POSIX sh and cannot be supported in this capacity. For more information, see bug 524572. Of course, you may safely set it as your login shell but /bin/sh must be something that credibly supports all of the rules of the Shell Command Language [1] such as bash - which has good sh emulation - dash, posh and various others.

Closing as INVALID because zsh is not a supported sh(1) provider, as explained in the previous comment. Please use an implementation that is expected to be POSIX compatible. If in doubt, I would suggest selecting one of the three that is currently presented by the eselect sh module (bash, dash or mksh). If you experience a build failure with any of these then feel free to open another bug.
