It seems that the source code for sci-mathematics/eclib-20190226 is no longer hosted at the url provided by the ebuild:

!!! Couldn't download 'eclib-20190226.tar.bz2'. Aborting.

The sources for eclib-20190909 are still there. Maybe it would be more reliable to pick the sources from github? After all, this is where the eclib website points to these days.

It seems that may be the better option for the long term. There is a fundamental difference between the stuff you get from github and eclib's webiste. On github you just get a tarball of the tagged source. On the eclib website, you get a sdist tarball generated by autotools. With the github stuff you have to run the eautoreconf and elibtoolize to prepare the source. Not so for the stuff from the eclib website, it has already been prepared.

I will make the source available on a mirror shortly.

Sync, the sources should now be fetched from a mirror. There is actually a better mirror option in the future and I should prepare for it.
