I think I fixed it by re-setting opengl-config xorg-x11. It built after that. I'm doing an emerge --update world up to 2004.3, so there's far too many dependencies for me to figure out how that got unset...
I've had the same problem afer upgrading xorg and ati-drivers package. 'opengl-update ati' fixed the issue.
which xorg version were you using? I committed a fix for that issue long ago. Can you use opengl-update to fix the problem of missing libs as stated?
