A little seach and I found out this : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562 So I Looked into imake.c from stable x86 package imake-1.0.2 to make the fix suggested by that bug report but I saw that also : ... /* If $TMPDIR is defined and has an acceptable length, * use that as tmp dir, else use /tmp. That fixes * problems with /tmp mounted "noexec". */ ... So "export TMPDIR=/var/tmp/portage" fixed the problem and nvidia-settings installed OK after that.
Not nvidia-settings fault. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 119984 ***
oops I bugreported too fast. I just emerged nvidia-settings with portage and it seems to compile quite well out of the box. This is indeed not an ebuild problem.
