I'll take a look at the bug - probably a missing dependency - with USE
flag combinations it is always tricky to catch them all.

Gentoo doesn't patch MythTV beyond things like directories/etc (and we
try to stick to FHS), and applying the fixes branch (which I try to
update monthly).

FYI - 0.27.1 is now in the main tree, so anybody using the overlay can
drop it.
