Utility to list hardware on your machine is _not_ a blocker.
A utility for listing hardware on my machine would allow me to set up cleanly the right drivers and maybe get some of it working, so that I could eventually use it. This is my definition of what blocker is.
Use lspci/lsusb :p
it's probably because of your CXXFLAGS, but i dont know becaues you neglected to post `emerge info` like the bug report page told you to
