[Description Steve 2008-04-22 14:28:40 UTC]

I was in the process of doing an update world when a revdep-rebuild detected libX11 had vanished.  It then said it was missing from the tree.  I did emerge sync and tried to emerge libX11 and got this make error

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge libX11
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
xcms/.libs/libxcms.a: member xcms/.libs/libxcms.a(QWhite.o) in archive is not an object
