Upstream fixed this: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXfixes/commit/?id=1702cdfe45c9bdd7dacfc8f27a49f89fcd1d02c3 upstream fix above allows libXfixes to compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libXfixes 2. notice a build failure 3. apply upstream patch 4. emerge libXfixes succeed.

any progress on this? a matter of applying upstream patch...
It is on the TODO list, but so are many other things... if there is any urgency in fixing this we can expedite the process.
well. i cant wait extended period (it's already 2 monthes since report) to get this simple fix (upstream, jut in case) applied.
(In reply to Oleg from comment #4) > well. i cant wait extended period (it's already 2 monthes since report) to > get this simple fix (upstream, jut in case) applied. I have made a 5.0.2 release upstream that contains the fix and added it to the tree. I can understand how you feel about the latency, but you should understand that we are volunteers with full-time responsibilities outside of Gentoo (perhaps even working on other free software you use but don't appreciate!) If you want to get fixes into the tree faster, you might consider becoming a Gentoo developer. I see that you're already a Funtoo developer so it might be very beneficial. I have to comment specifically on "i cant want extended period". You certainly can and you might not have any other choice. You may even get better results if you leave out such comments -- I know I personally find them very demotivating. I would not be surprised to find that making comments like that actually is counter-productive to your goal. In the absence of doing the work yourself (by first becoming a Gentoo developer), your options are to ask nicely and wait patiently or to pay someone to handle bugs for you.
thx for update.
