Please run this emerge and then show the actual errors from that build
(assuming it fails).  As I just mentioned on the forum post paralleling
this request, in one case you are having a macro parameter '_severity'
eventually being read as '_sdverity', and that is not a good thing.

One thing to try when you rerun this is
FEATURES='-ccache' emerge xorg-x11 --- if that should happen to succeed,
you will need to clear your ccache at some point.  I give that a more
than 0 probability of success because you are running your system, and
if it was routinely changing things like 'e' --> 'd' in memory or on
disk reads, you would not get very far with much of anything.
