It already includes a patch that is supposed to fix this issue, and I have never seen this problem myself :S

Well, I took the diff between the build log I submitted here and a successful one. Look at these two lines:

+  /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c 'gdmXnestchooser' '/var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gdm-2.20.11/image//usr/bin/gdmXnestchooser'
+/usr/bin/install -c gdmXnestchooser /var/tmp/portage/gnome-base/gdm-2.20.11/image//usr/bin/gdmXnestchooser

It's clear that in the previous case for some reason gdmXnestchooser didn't get installed before a soft link is created.

It's been almost 8 months and I guess I'm the only one who is affected. Considering the fact that even I can't reproduce this anymore, WONTFIX is the most appropriate solution?

Closing this since there hasn't been any progress on this and the package is not in the tree anymore.
