http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3750830#3750830 There is a problem with Elmo. Best we can figure, it may be a problem with gcc 4.1.1 not liking elmo, but it seems to fail consistently on configure.
Please, don't refer to forums.g.o. for bug descriptions. Post the errors and emerge --info here and reopen then.
