Please try to reproduce the bug with a hand-made clone of the repo in your $HOME directory or somewhere else.

If you can reproduce the bug, please contact upstream directly. If not, please reopen this bug and provide a full build.log.

Thanks

After emerging tons of packages and re-emerging world the package compiled. No idea if there was a unknown dependency or it got fixed upstream.
