First you should post the error itself, not just the portage report that
the build failed. You should find ir in
/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5b-r2/temp/build.log
If you cannot isolate the error yourself you could send the entire build
log (or upload it to some paste-site).
After you did that we could try to figure out, what exactly the error is
(and maybe help you).
Otherwise you could file a bugreport (where you should attach the
build.log nonetheless)
