Xorg having trouble loading modules after emerge

[gareth_w_j]

I wanted to update my sustem to take advantage of some new USE flags, so
last night i did:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world

here is a list of things that were recompiled from /var/log/emerge.log (or whatever the exact file name is):
it's probably worth mentioning that i only did a Stage 2 install because, as i recall, there was some library
or another that refused to compile.
1) gcc
2) glibc
3) glib
4) xorg-x11
5) pkgconfig
6) make
7) arts (associated with KDE, i think)
gnupg
9) baselayout
10) coreutils

looking at the log file that Xorg generates seems to indicate that Xorg >may< be trying to load a library
twice and as a result is finding conflicting symbols ... but I really have no idea. i'm not an expert at this.
anyway, i looked through /etc/X11 to see if there was a way to change Xorg's behaviour to avoid loading
this module ... just to get X running again. no luck, and the man pages didn't really help to explain what
was going on either.

here is the Xorg log file:

here are my USE flags: (hardened was one of the flags I enabled)

USE="-gtk -gnome -ftp -icq X qt kde ssl hardened crypt pam usb acpi cdr dvd alsa xine opengl openal sse perl f77 oss nvidia mozilla"

if the problem is a bug in the "hardened" code for Xorg, I should be able to fix the problem by adding:
x11-base/xorg-x11 -hardened

to my /etc/portage/package.use to disable the 'hardened' flag specifically for Xorg. thanks, I'll try that.

First let me say thanks to the guy who answered my post. It turns out that this is a very well know problem.
It is discussed on the documentation section of the Gentoo web page. A fix for the problem is also
discussed.
