I had problems with Xorg 6.8.2 and a duplicate symbol in libbitmap.a. This was a well-known problem and the two most popular fixes seemed to be to switch gcc to the non-hardened version or to rebuild Xorg with the "static" use flag. I chose the latter and all was well.
Now that the Xorg ebuild has been modularized, the problem is back. Now I have a dilemma. I tried building every package in x11-lib with the "static" USE flag, but no joy was to be had. I resorted to non-hardened gcc and rebuilt the whole thing, still no joy. Any ideas? I have three other Gentoo systems, but I'm not upgrading X until I understand what is going on here. I'd greatly prefer not to have to resort to XFree86. Thanks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
