The following was found on a Gentoo 1.2 system which had just been installed.  
Entries in /var/db/pkg reflect this oddity. 
 
Notably this is part of the glibc ebuild, which is a bad thing(tm)

Addendum - another hard disk which I spent the day upgrading unofficially to 
the 1.4 profile is proper in this respect. 
 
I will re-emerge glibc here (Gentoo 1.2, default-1.0 profile) and see if it 
corrects itself.

Re-merging the glibc ebuild corrected the issue.
