I don't know, it looks extremely fishy. Is your gentoo setup by any 
chance using ~x86 in the portage config? It looks like a broken libc on 
your system or some havoc with the linux-libc-headers.

Could you please send the strace as-is? Like that it's not possible to 
know what parameters you've used. Also, please emerge ltrace and send 
the ltrace output along as well. Plus the output of invoking /lib/libc.so.6.

Could you send send us this syslog-ng.conf, please? Does it contain any 
special characters?

??? woot! This is funny, how does this get into the trace?

So you haven't submitted the -f -V parameters to strace?
