I can't compile XOrg, tried several different combinations of USE flags, results in the same failure point.

Took a emerge --info to remind me, I did test this without my nasty CFLAGS, commented it out, still fails at the same point. It hasn't actually got to using gcc by this point as far as I know, its still working through building the IMake stuff.
well, seems your *build system* was screw up your rice CFLAGS, IMHO. All I can say is sanitizing it and rebuild like "emerge -e system && emerge -e world", or reinstall gentoo makes sence than to wast the time for distinction this bug's casus...
Your box must be glowin'!
