Currently cvs only uses http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/ path, but it could use mirror://gnu/non-gnu/ path and make use of GNU mirrors for downloads. The non-gnu directory is aliased inside the gnu directory probably for simplifying mirroring.

A simple :%s;http://ftp.gnu.org/;mirror://gnu/; run in vim on the ebuild fix it :)

HTH,
Diego

I looked into the thirdpartymirrors-file, but mirror://gnu points directly to ftp.gnu.org/gnu/  So I decided to use the direct link instead of the mirror.

But you are right.  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/non-gnu/ works as well.

Fixed in cvs.
