xosd-2.2.10-r1 and xosd-2.2.14-r1 are compiling with gcc-4.1. They are both ~x86 just like gcc-4.1, so maybe try them... Mixing x86 and ~x86 is not the best thing you could do.

x11-libs/xosd-2.2.8-r1 source is not compatible with gcc-4.1.1 - no need to confirm that. And there is also no need to do anything about this bug b/c working versions are already in the tree(WONTFIX?) And again plz don't mix x86 with ~x86(esp don't take compiler from ~x86 and use it for x86)
Fixed.
