One day I did emerge dev-libs/libgdata (0.8.0) and hit the compile error (log attached). dev-libs/libgdata-0.8.0 ~amd64 net-libs/gnutls-2.10.5 ~amd64 sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1 amd64 The problem emerged when ./configure called pkg-config --cflags "libsoup-2.4 >= 2.26.1" (attached) - it said that zlib.pc is needed by gnutls and is missing and returned nothing (which included not returning -I for glib-2.0)(log attached). I upgraded zlib to 1.2.5-r2 from ~amd64 and it enabled the gears to spin. Maybe testing net-libs/gnutls should explicitly depend on testing zlib? Reproducible: Always

Since both are still in the testing branch, this shouldn't be a problem, but as there is already a sys-libs/zlib version restriction in the net-libs/gnutls ebuilds, it could be worth updating that.
