Starting X fails with "connection reset by peer" and messages about unresolved symbols in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a : something like __stack_smash and one other. This is what hinted to me that -fstack-protector might be the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xfree-4.3.0-r6 with -fstack-protector in CFLAGS 2. start X Removing -fstack-protector from my CFLAGS and re-emerging xfree solved the problem.
