I don't know about the --ignore-default-opts thing. I don't use that
here and I'm running 3.3.8 + nvidia-drivers-302.17 with no problems.

1) Along the lines of Nikos' suggestion did you properly set the linux
link in /usr/src to point at 3.3.8?

c2stable ~ # ls -la /usr/src/
total 16

2) Here are make.conf and portage.X package data. Maybe they will
help. I'm updated to xorg-1.12 & mesa-8 as of this morning.
