librsvg seems to think that m4 is in a different location than the one it's actually in. I get the following error: --SNIP-- * Applying librsvg-2.12.6-plugin_checks.patch ...

This error is from autoconf. You have the same autoconf version as me, so it's not a version problem. Could you try re-emerging autoconf, to see if that fixes the problem? There is no reference to gm4 anywhere in the librsvg package, so it seems unlikey to be a problem with librsvg itself...
Re-emerging autoconf fixed it, as well as two simmilar problems I discovered with bmp and openal after posting this, thanks :)
