1) Read ChangeLog.  Its been a documented fact that Sawfish snapshots
are broken and fail to compile for quite some time now.  
2) http://bugs.gentoo.org/ Has at least two exactly the same entries. 

3) its also been in the forums.

4) its been in my private mails too.

5) file bugs upstream or Fix it. the only reason its still there, is
because the noise of it being broken is less than the noise I recieved
when I stubbornly declined to include it because it was just that...
broken.

Sorry to appear irritated, but I am, I've been facing broken snapshots
since april, and so far I've gotten no solid documentation on what makes
it build, and quite some pointers that "but they have it".  


Yours, 
  Irritable Maintainer.
