I got similar problem and response from X from X developers was I have too old freetype library. Yes, the stable marked on gentoo is 2.1.5. Try manually emerging 2.1.9 and report back. ;)
oki, emerged the hardmasked freeptype 2.1.9 (will it break stuff ? :D) and hm now we're at 6.8.0-r1 I tried first to emerge it and got another new error: make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1/work/xc/programs/xkbcomp/compiled' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `includes'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1/work/xc/programs/xkbcomp/compiled' including in programs/xkbcomp/rules... make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1/work/xc/programs/xkbcomp/rules' make[4]: *** No rule to make target `includes'.

I now sold the machine i had this problem on, and do not encounter it on the new one. I suggest marking the bug as wontfix/cantfix/invalid or something:)
Thanks for the update. Please reopen if the problem resurfaces.
