You've been a big help. Unfortunately, the problem still exists. I was using gcc-4.8.1, and I found the error WAY back in the log file: /tmp/portage-acc/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.1.901/work/xorg-server-1.14.1.901/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Events.c:566:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'xf86platformVTProbe' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] xf86platformVTProbe(); The error refers to an "implicit declaration" which only means a lack of some declaration or a missing header file declaration. If it were not for -Werror this probably should have finished compiling. But, I then installed gcc-4.7.3 in a different slot and tried again to compile. This also failed but the error seems to be a bit different: common/.libs/libcommon.a(xf86Events.o): In function `xf86Wakeup': xf86Events.c:(.text+0xf14): undefined reference to `xf86platformVTProbe' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [Xorg] Error 1 In this case, the location of the error is the same, in xf86Events.c, but now we have an "undefined reference" which occurs, I think, during the linking. The problem seems to be a fault of the source code, but then why is it failing only on my system? I do have USE=-kdrive. Frank Peters
