Compilation of the xfc library fails because version 2.0.6 of libsigc++ is required. The ebuild only requires >=dev-libs/libsigc++-2.0.0. The problem was identified on the xfc mailing list here: http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfc-dev/2005-March/000010.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge x11-libs/xfc-4.3.0 Actual Results: The compile failed.

I have just committed dev-libs/libsigc++-2.0.10, please upgrade and see if this solves your issue. XFCE team can then update the ebuild if necessary.
Hm. I upgraded and it didn't work. You may just want to mark this bug as invalid: http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfc-dev/2005-March/000012.html Apparently there's a bug in the C++ STL that was included in gcc 3.3.5. (the current unmasked version) This would explain why it just compiled fine on my athlon64 system with libsigc++ version 2.0.5. (the default compiler for amd64 is gcc 3.4.3)
