Can you confirm whether dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder is installed or not?

Scratch that, its in dev-lang/perl. 

*Sigh* I need to work out why I couldn't reproduce this myself, given I also have the same no-direct stack you have.

oooh. I see. Its an "LD=ld" problem.

    dev-perl/Crypt-Eksblowfish: Avoid breaking w/ LD=ld bug #730390
    
    This is probably the most sensible way I can handle this presently,
    as the concept of CCLD is not well established in the gentoo toolchain,
    and all the perl build tools expect their LD to be a CCLD, and become
    broken when its an _ACTUAL_ LD.
    
    A workaround for experts is left in its stead, as long as you set CCLD,
    then it will get passed to perl using the LD environment variable.
    
    Its a strange reality, but that's how it is.
