The php5-sapi eclass is hacked to allow the mysqli flag, however not beyond removing the simple if-clause that prevents the feature from being used. I updated the eclass from the tree this morning to make certain that this error wasn't being caused by the overlayed file, but it would make more sense that this is being caused by USE=-truetype on the GD package. If that's the case, the truetype flag on php is ambiguous. What can be done to prevent these packages from breaking without GD truetype support?
Hi, I've just committed some fixes for external gd support. Could you retest please? Thanks, Stu
