Here is a list of info on my system :

The problem seems to be related to a new version of glibc, perhaps a progamm not
re-emerged after glibc.
I have already tried re-emerging glibmm gtkmm glibc libsigc++ gtk+, without any
differences.

The result of a strace inkscape is very long, so i'll post it only if requested.

If some infos are missing, fell free to ask.
