[gentoo-user] gimp-2.6.4 fails with libxcb 1.4

Hello everyone, I just upgraded to libxcb 1.4, and the only side effect so far is that I cannot get gimp to compile. The build log clearly points to the broken libxcb dependency, although I followed the Upgrade Guide: -- /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --
