Attached the build.log file. The file was tailed to fit the size requirements.

Please try with gcc-5.2.0, since 5.1.0 will probably never be unmasked.

If it still fails with 5.2.0, please attach the complete build log from /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4/temp/build.log (not just the last terminal screen).

Compress with xz or bzip2.

If you want to play around with masked compiler versions then you need to be running ~arch.
