hello,
i am not s gentoo user - but try port clean xorg

CFLAGS??

Any chance you are on a athlon-xp?

If so try setting you march to athlon instead of athlon-xp in your CFLAGS.

I think there used to be a bug like while using march=athlon-xp

Actually the bug I was talking about seemed to occur with xfree:

Perhaps try toning down the optimization a bit in your portage config?

have you tried the gentoo forums? Those are some of the best I've ever seen.

I fixed it by changing my target system from athlon-xp to athlon

Cool. Glad to hear you got it fixed.
