Created attachment 377132 [details, diff] new patch The patch provided with the ebuild is incomplete, this new patch really should replace all occurrences of LIBCPUFREQ_LIBS.
In addition to the patch, autoreconf must be run after patching the source, otherwise the patch has no effect (probably in src_prepare())
(In reply to Gert Wollny from comment #3) > In addition to the patch, autoreconf must be run after patching the source, > otherwise the patch has no effect (probably in src_prepare()) Yes, I missed out on an USE flag I think, as the compilation here passed; since I'm away from home, I'll commit a fix tomorrow.
