The package nvidia-drivers notices several QA issues when trying to merge it. They are grouped into Text Relocations and Executable Stacks. Message give: QA Notice: the following files contain runtime text relocations Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security risk. On some architectures, the code may not even function properly, if at all.

A bug should be filed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ to make sure the file is fixed.
