Tried rebuilding gaim?
Yes i tried it and with various combinations of use flags but still the same crash
i have been rebulding all my system with the new glibc and gaim 2.0 is now working.
Closing as you have fixed your issue with an emerge -e system followed by world of by a simple emerge -e world. Any time you make a major change in your toolchain you should emerge -e system and possibly follow it up with an emerge -e world.
