[gentoo-user] libXfont 1.4.0 fails to emerge

[gentoo-user] libXfont 1.4.0 fails to emerge

[Simon Hunt]

I need libXfont-1.4.0 because xf86-video-intel-2.7.99.902-r1 depends on
xorg-server-1.6.3 which depends on libXfont-1.4.0. But libXfont fails to
emerge. Here is the end of the libXfont build.log:
