If you're running ~amd64, you should have glibc-2.12.1-r1... Does the problem persist after you update? If updating glibc fixes the problem, I will update the package dependencies.
The lastest version in portage is 2.11-r1. I did a build and chromium works fine. Also notice that this version of glibc is hardmasked.
Thanks for the report.
