which looks like make tries to run the Os compiler...

Since it helped removing the CC and CFLAGS params, it could be another case of bad "'s. Doesn't emake use the CC and CFLAGS params per default anyway?

I wonder why ${CC} is unset on your system...

I've removed the $CC substitution in hostap-utils-0.2.4.ebuild version 1.2.

Wait a little while, emerge --sync, and see if this fixes the problem for you.

Btw, no. Portage doesn't automatically use $CC and $CFLAGS by default - it just
calls make. If the Makefile specifies alternate $CC or $CFLAGS it has to be
either overridden on the command line or substituted in the Makefile.

Aha, so that is emake behaviour...

Yes there is no CC set on any of the Gentoo's I can currently reach, and they all run ~x86, and they are not identical in setup, just similar. One of them is newly built, still running in the chroot. emerge info has COMPILER="" though...

Did the change mentioned in comment #5 fix compilation for you?

Yup, comment #5 is fine. Questions about CC continued in bug #68537
