It seems to me like there's a bug in autoconf. minichinput uses the AC_PATH_X macro which according to the docs will set either $x_includes and $x_libraries or $no_x. However, it doesn't set any of these variables here. This causes the assignment LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L$x_libraries" to insert an -L switch without an argument into gcc's commandline which it chokes on of course. I'll attach a preliminary hack to fix this, hardcoding the paths to where they have to be on my system. "Fixing" this reveals another bug in the Xft and Freetype library path searching, I also fixed this (unlike the above, this should be a solid fix, I'll mail it upstream as well). Then there is a final hurdle to be taken in the resulting config.status. If anyone finds the unterminated substitute command in the following sed script, please tell: /^[ ]*VPATH[ ]*=/{ s/:*$(srcdir):*/:/; s/:*${srcdir}:*/:/; s/:*@srcdir@:*/:/; s/^\([^=]*=[ ]*\):*/\1/; s/:*$//; s/^[^=]*=[ ]*$//; } :t /@[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*@/!b s,@configure_input@,ImmModules/turbo/Makefile.

If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
Sorry, forgot to mention it: even though configure.in is included with the original archive, it also comes with a ready-made confugure script and this is what portage uses. So you have to recreate the script with autoconf after patching for now---just add an "autoconf" as the first line in the ebuild's src_compile(). Then the configuration should go a little further and die with a bunch of "unterminated `s' command" errors.
Sorry for the delay. I've just fixed the problem with passing --x-includes and --x-libraries. Thanks for the bug report and comments.
