[gentoo-user] emerge luatex-0.30.3 fails

[Strake <strake888@gmail.com>]

I am trying to emerge luatex, but it fails with the following message:

 *
 * ERROR: dev-tex/luatex-0.30.3 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 2620:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *       emake LIBMPLIBDEP="/usr/$(get_libdir)/libmplib/mplib.la"
LDZZIPLIB="$(pkg-config --libs zziplib)" ZZIPLIBINC="$(pkg-config
--cflags zziplib)" LIBXPDFDEP="" LDLIBXPDF="$(pkg-config --libs
poppler)" LIBXPDFINCLUDE="$(pkg-config --cflags poppler)"
LIBXPDFCPPFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags poppler)"
LIBPNGINCLUDES="$(pkg-config --cflags libpng)" ZLIBSRCDIR="." luatex
|| die "failed to build luatex"
 *  The die message:
 *   failed to build luatex
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call
stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/luatex-0.30.3/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-tex/luatex-0.30.3/temp/environment'.
 *

This has me thoroughly perplexed. I have remerged mplib, to no avail.
The linker error is as follows:
