This seems to be by design, see:
Vapier talking about it on lkml:

I expected everything but known bugs!

In any other reliable system I would expected to get a new dependence for perl etc.
But it seems that Gentoo is none of them.

I'm really sorry to see the way Gentoo go...

Hint: ~x86 is NOT something what has bugs by default...

Holy moly, don't get your panties in a twist. There's a workaround at this bug. And you're mistaken. ~x86 is expected to break at times. That is where breakage occurs. Because otherwise breakage would occur in x86 and that would be bad. Because x86 is STABLE. ~x86 is... not. If you want something where you can do emerge -e world&&emerge -e world&&emerge -e world and see no breakage, x86 is where you want to be.

lefsha,
I have now provided a patch for perl and a new ebuild in bug 168312. Please try it out so it'll come into the tree sooner.

Second answer is much better.

I've masked this version of headers. This solution works for me.

Cause Gentoo is not binary based system, one have to take a look on package building
before release something even under ~x86 ARCH.

That was my statement. Nothing else.

Thanks.
