Please, help me!
I have updated system after several months of inactivity thus after nothing
emerging at all during this period,
and now did 'emerge -vuDNp system' and also all the right things with
updating gcc described here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml
etc...

but the 2 system packages:
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7
openssh-4.3_p2-r1
can't compile, so
please let me quote the error outputs as follows:

------------------xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7----------------------------------------

Hi you,

let's see if it is possible.

That's odd. They sould work perfectly. Have you updated all of your
other packages? Have you the most recent stable portage?

The error ouputs are interesting but don't reveal too much.
What architecture are you using?
As for xorg, you may want to try a different version of the package.
Type emerge =xorg-x11-<version/revision>.

With openssh it simply looks like there is an error in the source or
some patch is creating one. I mean: sshd.c: In function main and so on
is a typical compiler error. Too many arguments to function and so on
allows the conclusion, that some code changed and errors got in.
Try another version of the package or debug the source on your own (and
help distributing to the project).

By the way: are you running you gentoo stable or unstable?


So, that may be enough for today. ;-)
Good luck

all the other ones resulting from the statement 'emerge -vuDN system'

I have also run 'revdep-rebuild'

yes, of course!

the version in question is the latest *stable* one!

I am describing here the situation of updating packages to the latest stable
ones. After some packages fail I am forced to cling to the previous
verisons of them. But if the problem persist for longer I am afraid the
integrity of the system will dissipate - as the packages are pertaining to
the System and their versions are bundled together somehow probably, aren't
they?

but I am using the stable packages overall!
just with some few minor exceptions, but not related to the core system

> By the way: are you running you gentoo stable or unstable?

again: in 99.9999999999% the *stable* one!

could it be the reason I have compiled gcc
(after commenting out 'strip-flags' in 'toolchain.eclass')
with the following flags:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-xp -fstack-protector -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr
-funroll-loops -funroll-all-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays
-DNDEBUG -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT


as I usually did for 2 years and with no problems at all so far...
