Portage can not find a required patch file. /usr/portage/media-libs/fontconfig/files/patch/fontconfig-2.1-cvs-update-20021221.patch As this is a dependency for X, that highly limits the usefulness of this box in its intended purpose.

Use the ~mips version of fontconfig. mips peepz, please mark a newer fontconfig stable, 2.1 is ancient geoman@gentoo.org 2004-07-13 20:15:05 0000 I made fontconfig-2.2.2 stable on mips...should fix the problem without having to unmask it yourself.
