I wasn't able to reproduce this exact failure with pspp-1.6.2, but I did hit a similar problem with both mold and lld:

(cd "./examples" \
         && "/var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/pspp-1.6.2-r1/work/pspp-1.6.2/src/ui/terminal/pspp" ../doc/pspp-figures/chisquare.sps -o - -O format=spv) > doc/pspp-figures/chisquare.spv.tmp
/var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/pspp-1.6.2-r1/work/pspp-1.6.2/src/ui/terminal/.libs/pspp: symbol lookup error: /var/lib/portage/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/pspp-1.6.2-r1/work/pspp-1.6.2/src/.libs/libpspp-1.6.2.so: undefined symbol: pango_font_description_free

I think I found where the linkage is missing and have reported it upstream at

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?63606

In the meantime I will hack a fix into the Gentoo package.

    sci-mathematics/pspp: new revision to fix a few security and QA issues.
    
    We fix CVE-2022-39831 and CVE-2022-39832 the same way upstream did, by
    refusing to install the vulnerable program (which was mainly only used
    for debugging anyway). We now also use a more accurate LICENSE, and add
    a patch to fix underlinking visible with lld/mold.
