IF you have distcc enabled, compilation breaks after a short time in proc/ksym.o. After disabling distcc in make.conf it compiled cleanly. Perhaps disabling distcc for this package or see another possible solution i didn't try (two more defines in source code) to solve this problem.
Post emerge info Post where and how it fails

If you're going to use use localhost in distcc compiling you should put localhost and not 127.0.0.1 since localhost shortcuts and calls gcc locally instead of going through the daemon. Try that and report back. It makes no sense for it to fail there but no other places where -Wdeclaration-after-statement is used.
my guess is that not all of your nodes are using the same version of gcc
Yes, I checked, they do. But the hint with 127.0.0.1->localhost did the task for me. (In reply to comment #4) > my guess is that not all of your nodes are using the same version of gcc
