xdvik's last in-tree changelog entry is from back in Nov-2004, so it's
obvious there's not a lot of activity on it.  I'm actually surprised the
~arch version from then works with gcc 4.1 without further tweaks, so it's
not surprising at all that an even older version wouldn't.  Given your
results, I'd suggest a stable keywording bug would be appropriate for the
package.  (A quick search here didn't turn up any bugs yet filed for
stabilization of the ~arch version yet.)

You said you'd verified timidity ~amd64 works on stable.  A quick look at
the bug I linked dealing with it doesn't have any amd64 specific
confirmation yet, and I don't see a comment from anyone with a
username similar to what you use here.  Please add your comment to the
effect that -r2 works for you on stable amd64, as it'll help the amd64 arch
folks know it has been tested and works on a stable platform. I'd do it
myself only I can't properly say it works on stable, since I'm running
unstable everything else as well.  Simply skipping it as it's now working
for you means it'll take amd64 longer to get the confirmation they need to
stabilize it for other users, and isn't a very nice thing to do now that
you have the information, in a community supported distribution like
Gentoo.
