After updating to gcc 4.1 my vmware-workstation doesn't start. I get: kbe@kbe ~ $ vmware /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden kbe@kbe ~ $ The problem started after doing the "emerge -e system && emerge -e world" after the compiler update.

Reopen if you can reproduce the problem after you've recompiled cairo with C[XX]FLAGS="-march=pentium4 -pipe -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" and with empty LDFLAGS.
(Plus recompiling all it's dependencies at least)
