The install fails when building cups with slibtool. MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=rlibtool' emerge -av net-print/cups This because the backend/Makefile file has bogus libtool commands which GNU libtool silently consumes, but more strict implementations like slibtool will print an error instead. rlibtool: error: --mode must be specified. This is easily resolved by removing libtool from the problematic commands as done in this upstream PR which has been ignored. https://github.com/apple/cups/pull/5827 However cups has been forked by the previous maintainer which did merge this patch. https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/pull/11

The OpenPrinting repo where this fix has already been merged has taken over cups development for Linux/BSD/etc and the apple repo is now only for macOS as described in this comment. https://github.com/apple/cups/pull/5827#issuecomment-796837736
