OK, I've changed the gv ebuild, though it's rather a guess, but it's the only 
thing I can think of.
If that doesn't help after rsync, could you try to extract and install the gv 
sources yourself, and see if that works? 
A final question: after the make error, emerge shuold say it failed to run 
something - what's that something? I want to know if it failed to compile or 
to install.
