Created attachment 195111 [details] Build log
Created attachment 195160 [details, diff] patch for the ebuild to solve the issue (with a few changes to supress warnings)
Created attachment 195163 [details, diff] patch used in the above ebuild It seems recent linux kernel changed include directories. This avoid 'conftest.sh' to get kernel version. The attached ebuild and patch would solve the issue.
71.86.09 is stable now. Thanks for the report.
