emerge X11 issue

[HaeMaker]

I am trying to emerge x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r2. I keep getting the errors below. I have renamed /var/cache/edb and tried removing /var/tmp/.../xfree-4.2.1-r2, but I keep getting the same errors. It seems to only happen with this one package.

Please advise.

I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf
to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.

I don't know what the problem was, but I was able to fix it with:

tar jxvkf stage3*

That autoclean is a bad idea. I did a "emerge -u world" and managed to clean "emerge" off my system! I did the above to fix that problem and it fixed this problem.
