This seems like a local problem where alsa has been linked against and then removed.
I did not even install it before, it was a fresh install. Now with alsa installed I get another error: /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Os -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes-Wl,-O1 -o gdmgreeter greeter.o greeter_action_language.o greeter_canvas_item.o greeter_events.o greeter_geometry.o greeter_item.o greeter_item_timed.o greeter_item_capslock.o greeter_item_clock.o greeter_item_pam.o greeter_item_ulist.o greeter_item_customlist.o greeter_parser.o greeter_session.o greeter_system.o -L../../gui -lgdmwm -lgdmcommon -L../../vicious-extensions -lviciousui-minimal -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXinerama -lXext -Wl,--export-dynamic -lgnomecanvas-2 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lrsvg-2 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm -lart_lgpl_2 mkdir .libs libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libcroco.la' make[4]: *** [gdmgreeter] Fehler 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.6.0.4-r1/work/gdm-2.6.0.4/gui/greeter' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.6.0.4-r1/work/gdm-2.6.0.4/gui/greeter' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.6.0.4-r1/work/gdm-2.6.0.4/gui' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Fehler 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.6.0.4-r1/work/gdm-2.6.0.4' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Fehler 2 !!!

this is not a fresh install, don't depclean or whatever you did if you don't know what you're doing.
