Problem building xorg-server from GIT on Gentoo

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install the current xorg-server package on my Gentoo 
machine. Note: I'm aware that this may very well be a Gentoo bug, I'm just 
hoping that somebody here can point me in the right direction.

I've installed the following packages from GIT: xinput, libXi, libXext, 
libX11, libxcb, inputproto, xproto, xcb-proto, xextproto, xineramaproto, 
xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard. When I try to build xorg-server, 
I get the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've just noticed that the errors are in german, sorry - it's
"struct _KeyClassRec has no element called curKeySyms"

Can somebody please give me a hint on how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance,
Yours, Florian
