I'm no authority on Gentoo, but since the error message instructed you  
to file it with Gentoo, I don't see how it can hurt.

It may well be a problem with gnucash too (or instead), so file it  
with bugzilla for gnucash too. It is not the same symptoms I see, so  
it may not be the same problem. The SX system seems to be a little  
twitchy right now, so I'm pretty sure those-who-know will be looking  
at it harder in the coming days. But a bugzilla entry helps keep your  
problem from getting lost in the shuffle.
