That

--ignore-default-opts thing

is there to get compile output and ignore some other settings I have in
/etc/make.conf. I use this option when something (as here) goes wrong to
see where it happend.

I have set symlink use flag on gentoo-sources to get symlink
automatically updated (and link is OK).

To this (Thank you for such extensive help):
 I'm running Gnome 3 so xorg-server is "at home" by me for longer time
(as unstable before)  mesa got upgraded when that driver should get
upgraded to.
My system IS NOT ~amd64 wholly  - just gnome3 related stuff and some
other packages (racket, skype, oracle-jdk,...)

The driver 295.59 builds just fine against kernel 3.2.12
So problem _MUST_ be somewhere around kernel.
