When emerging x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6 (same thing happens with -r5), the installation errors out with information contained in the next comment. I will also attach the portage log (bz2'd) and my portage info. I am experiencing a problem as well on bug 48191, also in the OpenGL section, but, the error is completely different. Could they be related? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xfree Actual Results: The compile errors out. Expected Results: Installation of XFree
Created attachment 29554 [details] Log from 'emerge xfree'
Created attachment 29555 [details] The output from 'emerge info'

I recompiled the machine from Stage 1 and the build still errors out at the same place.
I believe this was related to a bug in the tail.c file for Reiser4 that is included in ck-sources-2.6.4-r2. I used a kernel with a newer version of Reiser4 and this problem was resolved.
