I use 3.4.113 kernel which is likely the reason.
Maybe adding version dependency to the ebuild?

[Comment 2 Jonas Stein 2017-01-01 15:32:20 UTC]

compiles fine with kernel 4.8.11

which package do you use for your kernel?
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.113
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.113-r1

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2017-01-01 16:13:35 UTC]

you must provide `emerge --info` with every bug report

this define was added in linux-3.5 (as Jonas hinted).  the only way it'd fail to build is if you were using older linux headers on your system and weren't bothering to upgrade to newer versions.

That's right, I use 3.4 headers, which are no more in the tree.
Is it correct to have kernel 3.4 and newer headers?

(In reply to pavel sanda from comment #4)

that should work just fine
