dev-libs/libowfat _does_ build. I currently have the version
complained about in the bug installed on amd64, try instead compiling
with <gcc-4.4 and/or sending your bug report upstream.

Completely unnecessary, last rites was premature. See the bug, the
problem was in dietlibc, which has actually already been fixed, which
is why there's a dietlibc bump bug currently waiting for someone to
resolve Wink

Ok guys, libowfat can build using gcc 4.4 and glibc 2.10 with
dev-libs/dietlibc-0.32 , for which I submitted a bug (#280941). Once
#280941 is done we can save dev-libs/libowfat.
