The ebuild tries to call _check_build_dir, but does not inherit the eclass where that is defined (autotools-utils). It gets called later anyway, but not before the ebuild tries to use BUILD_DIR to set the DOCDIR cmake variable: -DDOCDIR="${BUILD_DIR}/doc" Which, since BUILD_DIR is not yet defined at that point, ends up setting DOCDIR=/doc, which then causes sandbox violations during the build.

It's not a missing eclass, it's because cmake-utils.eclass has some internal functions renamed. Changing _check_build_dir into _cmake_check_build_dir makes the ebuild work again.
I've fixed the function call for now, but we need to find a proper fix because _cmake_check_build_dir is a private function and shouldn't be called in ebuilds. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=2c8c406e43ced399e8bdea50766d7722e6216ee8
Looks like _cmake_check_build_dir isn't in use any more, so this can be closed.
