Rebuilding x11/xorg-server with cc (rather than gcc47 as all the other
ports were built) solves the problem.

I'm puzzled, why it matters, but I can reliably break and restore Xorg
start-up by switching between the cc- and gcc47-built versions of the
binaries. No other changes. All of the drivers (mouse, keyboard, ati)
remain compiled by gcc47.
