The package x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 cannot be compiled with debug info, see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19691 also for a link to the official patch.
Fixed without a revbump, as the patch has been proposed upstream for inclusing in 1.5.4. Thanks
The ebuild should respect USE=debug and pass --enable-debug as well.
... and append-flags "-DDEBUG -DNDEBUG" as well.

Please provide a patch to the current ebuild. Thanks
Created attachment 179974 [details] xorg-server-1.5.3-r2.ebuild Working ebuild handling USE=debug. User is supposed to have CFLAGS="-O0 0ggdb" or whatever to actually get the debug symbols in the generated binaries. But even without them, the extra -DDEBUG -DNDEBUG CFLAGs will ensure Xorg generates extra debug messages during its run. For example, http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=179913 .
A couple things : 1) please always provide patches instead of full ebuilds, it's easier for us to review changes 2) no need to add "debug" to IUSE, the eclass already takes care of it 3) src_compile is wrong, it should use the function provided by the eclass. 4) Actually, the append-flags call should be done in pkg_setup instead. 5) and the append-flags call should be done only when USE="debug" Thanks
Martin contacted me privately to tell me he can't write the ebuild for now. I'm not against this sort of change, but since I very much want this ebuild to go stable in the near future, I'll avoid changing it now. We can of course revisit the issue at a later time. Thanks
Remi, is there a chance to have the debug with 1.6 series ebuilds?
It's a bit late for 1.6, but if you provide a patch for xorg-server-9999 (in the x11 overlay, it'll probably be included for 1.7). Thanks
Patch is provided for 1.5.3-r2.

Created attachment 287365 [details] xorg-server-1.11.0.ebuild.patch The patch adds IUSE=debug otherwise emerge complains. Confusingly enough, it complains now again but I believe that is a false alarm (we can ignore that --enable-debug) will not be added to configure line after Oct 15). ;)
Fixed by commit bde82bf5f446004ca9bead3ce995b99d6e893d0e Author: Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> Date: Wed Jan 25 21:06:20 2017 -0800 x11-base/xorg-server: Add IUSE=debug.
