What do you mean by 'some gentoo patches'? I've been running Gentoo
boxes for a few years, and don't remember any such issues. I really
wonder what you mean by "too many private dirs", though.
I haven't investigated the strace output too closely - and it seems like
a pretty poor format for a bug report, unless you only provide it with a
reasonable explanation of what went wrong.
From what I see this looks like a simple permission issue, when the
postmaster can't access the data directory for some reason. Why exactly
that happened, I don't know - it might be a plain chmod, SELinux or
whatever.
