I think I run into a problem with this a while back.  I run unstable
with KDE.  I think it was a USE flag that needed changing to fix it but
I can't recall what I had to change.  I don't have notes.  May want to
look at the output just in case you are hitting the same thing and it
isn't obvious.

The best thing, post the entire output including the command itself. 
If, like me, you have defaults set in make.conf, you may need to post
them too.  On occasion, I copy it from emerge.log since it records all
options, from command line as well as make.conf settings.
