I just did an "emerge -P" to clean out my old packages, and did a "emerge -avuD world" afterwards, which now results in libfreetype-2.1.9-r1 fails to compile. I've googled, searched the forums, searched the bugs, and found nothing. Not excluding that it most likely is my system, but I'm clueless. The exact error-message is: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking freetype-2.1.9.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/freetype-2.1.9-r1/work * Applying freetype-2.1.9-fix_bci.patch ...

Blah, as I suspected it *was* my own doing. My "emerge -P" cleaned out gcc-3.3. 5, which apparently was the selected version, even though I had 3.4.4 installed. Manually selecting 3.4.4 via gcc-config solved my problem. The only relevance for libfreetype was that this happenchance was the first package it tried to re-emerge after my clean-up. Sorry for this. Please mark as invalid or whatever.
