I changed the ebuild to apply the patch and it builds successfully.
seems to be a portage bug works here with 2.0.48_pre6
I updated to portage-2.0.48 and it is still detected wrong.
Nevermind...it was due to a problem with my overlay dir being in my homedir but I had enabled the userpriv features and stuff was just dieing when it couldn't read the overlay. It works right now. It's strange that it would mess up the detection when it can't read the overlay, I would think it would ignore the overlay if it can't read it and work just based off of the normal portage dir.
