This is my fault, fixing..
Fixed in CVS. Re-run 'emerge rsync' in about 30mins (give or take a few mins) and you should get the updated change. I had to add a src_compile() function to resolve an issue on the mips architecture, and forgot to add the needed econf/emake commands that get called in src_compile().
