There are build failures on packages like cups (bug 66668) and libungif because of autoconf, I think, based on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=233752 There might be more packages that fail, but as Im setting up a new PC, I havent come across them all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge cups 3. emerge libungif Actual Results: sorry cant paste from local as its --- over there >, but from the forum note, which is the same: >>> Unpacking cups-1.1.20-source.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/cups-1.1.20-r3/work * Applying disable-strip.patch...

(no error message) Note, this is not a duplicate of bug 66668. 66668 is caused by this one.
I marked this major.. one of the wonderful benefits of Gentoo is to get the system up to X11 running, then do an emerge KDE (for example) and come back a few hours later and its done. This totally breaks that.
