What about using sane C[XX]CFLAGS, like "-march=nocona -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"? Especially remove the stupid visibility stuff and never put things like -m64 there.
same error with your 'non-stupid' cflags/cxxflags. I was instructed by another gentoo dev to use -m64 when gcc was not outputting 64 bit binarys for my box. it evendently has been fixed in a newer version of gcc, as it it outputing proper 64 bit files without it. fvisibility-inlines-hidden is very helpful with kde stuff *strug* but in any case, no change with the xorg-server ebuild.
