I can't compile xfree. Either -r5 or -r6 give this compilation error:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../../exports/lib ../../../exports/bin/xcursorgen X_cursor.cfg X_cursor
make[4]: *** [X_cursor] Segmentation fault
make[4]: *** Deleting file `X_cursor'
make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xfree-4.3.0-r6/work/xc/programs/xcursorgen/redglass'

make: *** [install] Error 2

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6 failed.

Should I try to debug xcursorgen?

Hmmmm segfault... it looks like the compiler crashed. I'd start by running
memtest over night and see if some bad memory turns up.... Maybe a good time
to reapply heatsink goo to the cpu or clean the fins and fans...

I guess I'm saying that it sounds like a hadrware fault to me, more than a
software issue.

Besides, it's not a crash of gcc, but a crash of xcursorgen.

In addition, the crash occurs at the same place every time I try to
compile xfree86 (about 6 times up to now), and whether it's version -r5
or -r6.

Well, as it was hinted in the followups, and as I confirmed, this does
not work.

This problem is because your libpng was compiled with a different
compiler from
that which you're using to compile X.

xcursorgen uses the libpng read setjmp() stuff to handle broken files.
Due to the different compilers, this use of setjmp() seg faults when
setjmp() is called.

This happens for other packages as well e.g. htmldoc.

The solution is too reemerge libpng, which is them compiled with your
new compiler.

Check out the other make.* files in /etc along with make.conf. There's a
global file and an example file, both of which are heavily commented, and
one (at least) of which has just what you are looking for, a ready-made
wget command that's bandwidth limited. (IDR seeing one for rsync, but it
should be easily doable, with the various comments and general
documentation floating around.)
