Zenity 3.8 list output bug on Sabayon

Zenity 3.8.0 on Sabayon 13.12 has a bug that doubles the output of list with seperating pipe, as explained here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/1247137
 My workaround was to download latest source from:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/zenity
Download the package:
ZENITY_3_10_0.tar.gz
Ensure the following are installed:
automake
gcc
gnome-common (small)
yelp-tools
Extract, make and install:
cd ZENITY_3_10_0
autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
