xorg-server-1-7.6 fails to compile [SOLVED]

So, I have a bit of a problem in my hands: xorg-server fails to compile. I did a system update (after two years) a couple months ago, and now I decided to update xorg-server, as well. I had some ancient version, but it worked just fine until some programs began depending on newer versions of it.

Simply put, I have no idea how to fix this. I attempted installing version 1.6.5-r1, but that didn't build due to some different error. I also have uninstalled the nvidia drivers and eselect opengl set xorg-x11 just to make sure they aren't interfering with the installation.

I'd be happy indeed if somebody knew what to do.

It's just that not only does infrequent updating make the inevitable more difficult and time-consuming system-wise, it won't benefit the user much when problems arise.

Here's some info:
emerge -pqv: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/242234/

emerge --info: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/242235

Build log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/242236

Thank you in advance!

edit: Oh, and in the build log some text is in Finnish (I'd prefer if it wasn't, or at least that the characters worked properly). At the end, starting with GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE_EXT it says that it hasn't been introduced, and is used for the first time in the function.

i think opengl trouble rebuild or update mesa & retry

and you should sanitize your cflags, specially when you encounter a build failure.

Have you tried revdep-rebuild -p?

revdep-rebuild runs clean now, but the error still persists. I also ran lafilefixer --justfixit, and that's clean, too.

Solved!

It emerged fine after I fixed the various libGL symlinks in /usr/lib/. They were probably left in disarray after doing a rogue install of nvidia-drivers.

Now, the only problem is the messed up keymap I have in X and can't seem to fix it (loadkeys doesn't do the trick).

Anyways, the original problem is solved.

Thank you for your help!
