Indeed.

Yes, I haven't looked at this one yet, but it is strange.

No, not really strange. There has been a change in gcc 4.6 with regard
to linking some time ago. See
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml. This is causing build
breakage in some packages that had an incorrect list of libraries to
link with.
