Confirmed, patch allows for compilation successfully. on AMD64. Thanks, Helmut!

Actually, noticing some oddness since it was installed.

Whenever I open a new gnome-terminal instance (be it via a new window OR tab), i get this as the first line:

*** VTE ***: Failed to load terminal capabilities from '/etc/termcap'

I can type into the instance, but it does not interpret enter- so I can't actually run any commands.

Rolling back to x11-libs/vte-0.28.0-r200 did not resolve this issue.

Reinstalling x11-terms/gnome-terminal(-2.32.1) did not resolve this issue.

I have not tried a GNOME/X restart yet.

Worked fine after an X restart, and- furthermore- I was able to emerge 0.28.0-r300 with no ill effects this time.

I suspect I was using a stale environment/session in which some updates didn't take effect yet. :) False alarm! Thanks again, Helmut. Hope it gets committed soon.
