A good idea re providing a VM.  BTW, I run Gentoo also and QEMU using 
Mokomakefile built with no problems here.  Are you trying to do it with GCC 
4.x?  It supposedly is a known bug and you need to use GCC 3.x.  Fortunately 
you can have both installed at the same time and use them where needed.  I 
have GCC 3.x set as the default compiler.
