Steps to reproduce: - Start 'emacs -Q' - M-x list-packages Filed as upstream bug: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30788 Slight difference for the tip version of Emacs where this error occur after only starting with emacs -Q. For 25.3.1 some activity related to hash tables need to be done hence the list-packages. $ emerge --info Portage 2.3.24 (python 3.5.4-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/gnome/systemd,

Same here. The culprit seems to be fontconfig-2.13.0 as downgrading to fontconfig-2.12.6 solves the problem.
@matsl: Can you confirm that this is related to the fontconfig version?
@ulm: Yes. Downgrading to fontconfig-2.12.6 clears the issue.
I temporarily solved the issue by aliasing emacs to 'LC_ALL=C emacs'.
(In reply to Mats Lidell from comment #3) > @ulm: Yes. Downgrading to fontconfig-2.12.6 clears the issue. Hm, media-libs/fontconfig should be linked against only with USE="xft", but I don't see that flag in your emerge --info output.
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #5) > I don't see that flag in your emerge --info output. It's not even in my 'emerge --info', but it's in my package.use. Maybe the same applies for him. Anyway, the problem exists and has to do with the locale.
(In reply to Ivan Iraci from comment #6) > Anyway, the problem exists and has to do with the locale. I can reproduce it with LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 but not with LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8.
Created attachment 523822 [details, diff] Patch for media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.0 Removing the locale initialisation code (which was not present in fontconfig-2.12.6) from function FcConfigEnsure seems to fix it here.
Reported upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105492
@Fonts team: This is major breakage. So unless you raise objections, I am going to package.mask =media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.0 tomorrow.
Created attachment 523862 [details, diff] Patch for media-libs/fontconfig-2.13.0 Patch from upstream. Please test if this fixes the problem.

@Andrzej, @Ivan: Thank you for your feedback on fontconfig and locale. This was really helpful for resolving this bug.

Reopening. The following will still trigger the bug: $ unset LANG LC_ALL $ LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 emacs -Q
