Reopen with gvim version and a backtrace:

Hmm, thanks.
I've found where the bug is, In my /etc/make.conf file,
I have -gtk in USE.

And no matter which version of gvim, It would segfault if you have this in your USE, my solution for now is, have a line 'app-editors/gvim        gtk' in /etc/portage/package.use
I think the ebuild should set gtk for user.
otherwise, It would always fail.

Thanks for your reply.
