I wanted to fix gw6c for the stdenv branch (by replacing it with gogoclient, which is the maintained fork of gw6c).
However, I run into a few issues when building my system from stdenv branch, and they are not in your problem-list: They seem to be related to using a 3.2 kernel. For some packages, I need to create symlinks from 3.2 (and probably 3.1, 3.3 and every future 3.x) to 2.6 build files/dirs. The nss package for example. Other packages fail indirectly too. For example kdeadmin cannot find pykde4 (which itself built fine) and bails out with an error about DLFCN. I tracked it down and found this: http://forums.funtoo.org/viewtopic.php?id=674 There too, it boils down to python not being able to handle 3.x kernel major/minor change. Gentoo has a workaround that just copies linux-2 to linux-3 for python. I haven't tried it (it will take all day to build everything on top of that again) yet. I know the official kernel is still 2.6.35, but I'm sure a lot of users use 3.0+. Please test building the stdenv-upgrade branch with a 3.x kernel before merging it to trunk. It will reveal more problematic packages to add to the list that make you want to postpone merging it a bit.
