[Xorg] Duplicate symbols when starting X

Hi,

I've searched google, a number of mailing lists and other related sites 
(including xorg) for a similar problem.  I cannot seem to find anyone 
who has experienced the following when trying to start X:

Duplicate symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdbe.a:dbemodule.o
Also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a

I have provided some details about my system below.  It is a gentoo 
system built without DRM or AGP support.  I have consulted the gentoo 
mailing lists without any success, so I hope this is an appropriate 
place to pose the question.

It should be noted that the same duplicate symbol appears regardless of 
what module it is trying to load...am I managing to load modules twice 
somehow?


Thanks for your time,
