You should really report problems with ebuilds to the maintainers of the 
ebuilds.

But I think I know what causes this problem: There was a problem with 
certain architectures concerning the copying of varargs in 
thunar-vfs-job.c, which I fixed some time ago. From what I know about 
amd64, this problem would have affected amd64 too. So I guess you just 
discovered an unnecessary patch there. As a quick fix: Get rid of the 
patch and thinks should work. But don't forget to inform the gentoo 
maintainer.
