10 I ran into this same problem approximately two weeks ago on my amd64 box
11 with the same version. I also needed to rebuild mythtv due to a library
12 upgrade. I originally thought that the problem arose when the ebuild
13 switched from using a SVN checkout to a tarball download. However, the
14 changelog shows that this happened on March 2nd, but I successfully
15 emerged mythtv-0.21_p18314-r1 on April 24th.

17 I upgraded mythtv to 0.21_p20877. It builds correctly on my system and
18 also corrects an issue I was having with the backend process
19 occasionally segfaulting when the frontend exited. Sorry I do not know
20 how to fix this particular issue, but so far 0.21_p20877 has been
21 working great for me on amd64 after a few days of light usage.
