Hi,
I'm using ~amd64 for my whole system (for years). I have a similar
system to yours, but only a Core i7 920, :) and at the moment every
package on my system builds fine.
Which package failed? Which profile and GCC are you using? I just
emerged xfce4-meta and everything worked. Here's my GCC, profile and
xfce versions (I also use unmasked portage):
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.4.3 USE="fortran gcj graphite gtk
mudflap (multilib) nls nptl objc objc++ objc-gc openmp (-altivec)
-bootstrap -build -doc (-fixed-point) (-hardened) (-libffi) -multislot
(-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -test -vanilla" 0 kB
$ sudo gcc-config -l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.3 *
$ sudo eselect profile show
Current make.profile symlink:
default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop
My cflags:
CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine
-floop-block -ggdb -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"
$ emerge -vp xfce4-meta
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

The xfce wallpaper thing sounds like what I experienced with xfce
during the jpeg-6-to-7 upgrade process. At the time, jpeg was not
slotted and there was jpeg-compat for programs that were incompatible
with jpeg-7. Now we have jpeg-8 as well, and 6/7/8 are in slots, so
maybe the solution is different. Back then, I unmerged and masked
jpeg-6, revdep-rebuild everything that depended on jpeg so that it was
built against jpeg-7 and then everything was fine. (Maybe there was a
gtk+ patch I had to apply on day 0, but that was long ago made
obsolete by newer versions of gtk+ in portage)

I'm not a gnome user but I can try this if you want (135 packages to
emerge in my case), or if you have more specific info about which part
doesn't build I can try only the specifics.

Maybe you can unmerge those packages, allowing emerge to get rid of
the preserved libs, then emerge world to bring those packages back.
