See bug 36332. It is caused by gettext version 0.12 breaking the non-ascii support for xmms. Dropping back to 0.11.5-r1 allows xmms to build correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gettext (currently 0.12) 2.emerge xmms 3.bug 36332 will occur Actual Results: xmms bombed out as reported in this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=118176&highlight= Expected Results: gettext changed something from 0.11 to 0.12 with respect to non-ascii chars. Workaround: emerge gettext-0.11.5-r1 works for me. workstation gettext # emerge --info Portage 2.0.49-r15 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.6.0) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.10 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=athlon-xp -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.noved.org/ ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo http://gentoo.ccccom.com" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 oss apm avi crypt cups encode foomaticdb gif gtk2 jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang arts svga java sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis opengl mozilla ntpl readline X gtk gnome -kde -qt dvd"
