in essence, nvidia-drivers ebuild will not work on my box. i have been stuck on this for a month, tried all i know how. fixing executable stacks is beyond me. i'm sure there are others with this problem, too - any help highly appreciated.

Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity; not to mention that I fail to see how you've be "stuck" on this. UPSTREAM problem, we won't fix it.
sorry - hadn't selected proper severity. fact is, major to me, nvidia accel is crucial for role as video server. i have site w/ more dumps & info here. http://nilesvirus.homeip.net:12345/gentoo/bugs/nvidia/index.html if anyone wants to work on this box, directly, contact me, i'll happily fwd info. cheers
sorry, totally my bad - had improper system config.
