I was about to file a bug that newt-0.52.2 is failing to compile because it cannot link to popt, and on further investigation, I found out why. Quite simply, popt-1.10.4 is installing libs to /usr/lib6464 >>> Completed installing popt-1.10.4 into /var/tmp/portage/popt-1.10.4/image/ man: gzipping man page: popt.3 strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded usr/lib6464/libpopt.so.0.0.0 usr/lib6464/libpopt.a >>> Merging dev-libs/popt-1.10.4 to / --- /usr/ --- /usr/share/ --- /usr/share/doc/ --- /usr/share/doc/popt-1.10.4/ >>> /usr/share/doc/popt-1.10.4/README.gz >>> /usr/share/doc/popt-1.10.4/CHANGES.gz --- /usr/share/man/ --- /usr/share/man/man3/ >>> /usr/share/man/man3/popt.3.gz --- /usr/share/locale/ --- /usr/share/locale/ja/ --- /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/ >>> /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/popt.mo --- /usr/lib6464/ >>> /usr/lib6464/libpopt.a >>> /usr/lib6464/libpopt.so.0 -> libpopt.so.0.0.0 >>> /usr/lib6464/libpopt.so.0.0.0 >>> /usr/lib6464/libpopt.la >>> /usr/lib6464/libpopt.so -> libpopt.so.0.0.0 --- /usr/include/ >>> /usr/include/popt.h /usr/lib6464 is also not added to ld.so.conf.

Reopen to dupe.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 146988 ***
Can I point out a quick musing? (I'm sure you've heard it before, but I need a laugh :D.) I have emerge --sync in a cron. This package broke rsync, I have to rsync to get the patch + revbump. (Yes, I read the other bug, I'm downgrading, rsync, and upgrading :-).) I missed the other bug because I was going to file a bug on newt breakage. I searched for /newt/ only, and then changed my bug mid-composition to popt when I found the error. No wonder I haven't had any new packages to update in a few days. *methinks I need to set up better logging for errors including rsync...* Thanks Michael / Jakub.
Closing, it's really a dup.
