Please run gcc-config to set ou compiler. gcc-config -l gives you a list of available profiles.
emerge info shows gcc-CURRENT=*. This shouldn't be the case if your compiler is set correctly with gcc-config.
Indeed is the case - this resolves xfree compile issue. Interesting that other packages would emerge fine but not xfree. Nonetheless thanks Sven & Donnie.
