[Comment 1 Pieter Van den Abeele (RETIRED) 2003-10-11 05:03:52 UTC]

should be solved by remerging the fontserver. If not solved already, try
unmerging everything related to X and remerging again against the latest
portage tree. 

Adding PIC to your useflags (if not already) doesn't seem to hurt either.
