Thanks I looked it up. I did indeed find a lockfile so I tried re-emerging the add and I see that it fails to completely install:

[Errno 13] Permission denied Looking a bit further I found that the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory had 644 permissions. I changed it to 755 but to see (probably overkill, 744 probably would work too) and tried emerging libsndfile again and it worked! I'm not sure where to direct this too I'm going to note the bug report you mention but it seems like it should really be addressed at where the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory is first created and fix the permissions, right?
