Do you have an example build log of such failed emerge?
Created attachment 328992 [details] x11-libs:qt-sql-4.8.3:20121108-214728.log.gz qt-sql build log
caused by USE="systemtap". Suggest disabling until it can be sorted out. @mysql-team: DTRACE creates the ${BUILDDIR}/probes_mysql.o but nothing seems to link or install it.
*** Bug 467492 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We should get an agreement on a mysql_config filter patch. I posted one to mysql-extras overlay back in late June which is not yet released in any tarball. I based it on the 5.1 series and added probes_mysql which is an internal library. Comments on those patches are welcome.
I ran into this and can confirm that removing "systemtap" from use variables resolved it. I was using mariadb
Hit the same bug with dev-db/mysql-5.5.32 with USE = -* minimal mysql_config lists -lprobes_mysql, while it doesn't exists
Fixed with update to 5.5.37
