I had the same problem. All you need to do is to add /opt/xmingw/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/ to PATH and ROOTPATH in /etc/env.d/05xmingw and run etc-update && source /etc/profile. Afterwards I could emerge xmingw-w32api without any problems. here is my /etc/env.d/05xmingw if you need it: # cat /etc/env.d/05xmingw ROOTPATH=/opt/xmingw/bin:/opt/xmingw/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/ PATH=/opt/xmingw/bin:/opt/xmingw/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/ MANPATH=/opt/xmingw/man INFOPATH=/opt/xmingw/info
xming has been integrated into toolchain and the xmingw packages are being killed `emerge crossdev && crossdev mingw32`
