There's a bug, presumably in the ebuild, that causes it to link against
installed libraries before the libraries compiled as a part of the
ebuild.  This breaks builds when new functions are added to the
libraries.  The quick workaround is to unmerge the old install before
merging the new one, or to safer, move /usr/lib/libmyth* to a temporary
location (remove them entirely if the install works).

If someone knows how to fix that problem in the ebuild, please let me
know.
