It's a new feature of portage 2.0.51 -- i think they want to introduce
it when it's done.
In the meantime we can look at this thing in ebuild.sh.

Security feature. suid binaries should not allow LD_{PRELOAD,DEBUG} and
therefore be relinked in "immediate" mode rather than "lazy". That
resolves the library links and function calls -before- running the
application rather than "as needed".

Somone (solar?) Decided it was a good idea to sharpen up the packages.
The fix is to fix the ebuild that installs a suid binary to axtually "do
right".

There was an article on LWN about the impact of this :

Hopefully this helps :)
