Two suggestions (don't know much, but I run Gentoo on AMD64):
Did you try rebuilding cairo-pango?
I presume you mean the cairo and the pango packages. I just rebuilt those for this reply, and inkscape via the ebuild - No effect, unfortunately. The build problem started manifesting on my old laptop, and continues on my new one (all new install mid september), so it's appeared on at least two systems.
Did you try not using the ebuild? (It's how I build, works like a charm for me and usually easier, since I don't know how to update ebuilds)
I haven't tried that recently, mostly because I try to never run the 'make install' step on unpackaged software. If it's a program without desktop integration, I'm happy to run it from the build directory. In Inkscape's case, though. I don't have a good way to track what files and file association settings inkscape would copy for its GNOME integration.
Thanks.
