It is posted above, just after the emerge messages, that's the content of the whole file.

Sorry about overlooking that, expected to see the log under attachments... assigning to maintainers
Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-31 19:25:07 UTC
Presumably a libtool 2.2 issue, bug 212763.

You're probably right, just downgraded libtool to 1.5.26 (from 2.2.4) and now xfce4-xkb compiled just fine.
