The new version of xfractint doesn't fix this problem. I'm attaching an updated ebuild for the current version and a patch I created. With this patch, xfractint compiles without any problems on my system.
Created attachment 19768 [details] ebuild for xfractint-20.2.05
Created attachment 19769 [details, diff] patch for xfractint to compile with gcc-3.3.1
I've given a shot using your provided ebuild & patch to see how cleanly this program compiles before resolving the bug, and hit a small snafu. make: *** No rule to make target `helpdefs.h', needed by `ant.o'. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Now the machine I used does not have X installed, so I'd expect the program to not compile properly to begin with, but I was expecting an error explicitly tied to X itself. This error looks more with the program. Any ideas how this is resolved?
Sorry, I did test the patch but I forgot to check if the new version of xfractint works corretly with Portage. The problem is in the default '-j1' make option Portage uses. Change 'emake' to "MAKEOPTS='-j1' emake" in the ebuild and everything should work fine.

Why hasn't this been fixed in portage? I just tried to emerge xfractint and I encountered the same compiler error.
New version with the patch added to Portage.
