I just warned you that the bugzilla product was NOT for applications, but for problems with the bugs.g.o site ONLY. Do NOT use it for application bugs - consider this to be a warning of abuse.

emerge --info please. Also attach the complete emerge.log (bzip it if it's too large).

The following thread talks about a similar issue with the same library, and the proposed fix (no patch):

There is only a QA notice about issue with PIC in my emerge log. I'm attaching the scanelf-textrel log as well.

From my build log:
 * QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations                                                              
 *  Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
