emerge fails - from the build summary, problem is not evident, but checking the logs shows /usr/include/Imlib2.h:107: error: expected ')' before '*' token Upgrading from imlib2-1.2.something to imlib2-1.4.0 resolved the problem.

Maybe you should just upgrade your system properly, using --deep.
(In reply to comment #1) > Maybe you should just upgrade your system properly, using --deep. This was an old system, I was upgrading gcc, glibc, all the expat issues, etc. etc. with emerge -eav system && emerge -eav world. I customarily do emerge -auDN world, but this box had not been kept up-to-date -- so I'm not surprised there were problems. Nonetheless, should ffmpeg not have >=media-libs/imlib2-1.4.0 as a dependency? Cheers, Thomas.
fixed, thanks for reporting
