This *needs* to have been a revision bump on the ebuild! If you had openal-0.0.8-r1 compiled prior to 2007-02-13, then you won't pick up this patch, and it has started to cause problems with other builds (see bug #165135) - this is the second time in a few weeks that I've run into issues with ebuilds and GCC 4.2 just because the updated ebuilds were never rev-bumped to cause a recompile with the patch - I don't understand the reasoning behind *not* rev-bumping the ebuild...
Simply put, current policy actually says that "build-time fixes" do not require a revision bump, so many developers don't do a bump to reduce the recompiling that people are forced to do. This particular instance is a case where what we thought was only a compile-time fix really is not. Anyway, I forced a bump for everyone this morning, before I even saw this. In the future, please file a new bug for this sort of thing, as many of us are much less likely to notice comments on bugs we've already resolved.
