seems to be a perl issue (probably something in your system is broken wrt perl):

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
distcc[18488] ERROR: compile (null) on localhost failed
make[3]: *** [blib/arch/auto/Image/Magick/Magick.so] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.8.8/work/ImageMagick-6.5.8-8/PerlMagick'
make[2]: *** [install-exec-perl] Error 2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

please run revdep-rebuild and/or perl-cleaner and see if the issue disappears.

tried revdep-rebuild (also wants to install imagemagick so it failes). I executed perl-cleaner reallyall, that executes but still not able to install imagemagick.

any other ideas?

I re-emerged everything with perl in the name, and that did the trick. Not a very good solution, but it worked ...
