Changing all the occurances of 'gsl_isnan' to just 'isnan' in the following files seems to work:
./eigen/symm.c
./eigen/symmv.c
./eigen/herm.c
./eigen/hermv.c

Hi Mark.
I see you are using the -ffast-math. This flag is considered generally unsafe and I just checked - it made the build fail here as well with the same error. I guess this flag makes gcc omit some "standard" definitions, such as isnan in this case.
I have modified the ebuild to filter out this flag. Thanks for a report!
The modification is committed, please test.
George
PS,
looking through your flags I spotted few basic things you might want to consider:
1. -fomit-frame-pointer is not necessary with -O2 or -O3
2. -O3 as compared to -O2 in general increases code size but does not have a stable effect on the execution speed. The difference is some additional loop unrolling, which can cause few percent speed improvement but can also cause similarly small slow-down. Additional testing with particular code is necessary to determine the effect in general.
3. adding -fpmath=sse,387 if yor athlon has sse module.
4. searching forums for more tips.
