If you go to the directory /var/tmp/portage/patch-2.5.9/work/patch-2.5.9 you'll find a config.log file. Open the file and you'll see that it is the output of what configure was doing when the failure occurred, and you can see the exact output message from gcc that was handed to configure. Note that the info will not be at the end of the file but actually embedded within it (the end of the file is a dump of variable settings configure had at the time the failure occurred). Typically you'll find something like an error about a missing library or header file or something. If you want to send me the config.log I'll help you figure it out.
