Same for me.

[Comment 3 nvinson234 2016-06-25 02:19:02 UTC]

The problem lies in the multilib_src_compile() function that's defined in the ebuild.  When 'multilib_is_native_abi' is false, 'emake -C src libmagic.la' is called instead of 'emake'.  The end result is that a needed header file, magic.h, is not created.

That said,  I had some difficulty reproducing this as /usr/include/magic.h was being substituted for the missing magic.h during the build.
