During my emerge world portage failed to update x11-libx/pixman to 0.11.8 with the following error message: >>> Emerging (58 of 230) x11-libs/pixman-0.11.8 * pixman-0.11.8.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

I think it may be a bug in the ebuild: if use sse2 && ! $(version_is_at_least "4.2" "$(gcc-version)"); then eerror "SSE2 instructions require GCC 4.2 or higher. Either use" eerror "GCC 4.2 or higher or USE='-sse2'" die "SSE2 instructions require GCC 4.2 or higher" fi I'm not sure, but it looks at if there is a closing bracket missing.

Oops, i just noticed that i really use a gcc version <4.2, i'll try to update gcc and reopen the bug if it didn't fix it.
