Have this issue as well. Same experience as described by Bertrand. I have ncurses-6.0-r1:0/6 installed: [ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1:0/6::gentoo USE="cxx minimal -ada -debug -doc -gpm (-profile) -static-libs {-test} -threads -tinfo -trace -unicode" 0 KiB The only thing unusual that I saw at a glance is that minimal USE flag. I tried rebuilding with USE=-minimal and upgrading qemu again, but it still fails with the same error.
I turns out that qemu needs unicode support in ncurses, i.e. sys-libs/ncurses[unicode]. commit 7af1b562d1a90cf1313e1be891679b5bdb560bd4 Author: Matthias Maier <tamiko@gentoo.org> Date: Mon Feb 13 01:19:14 2017 -0600 app-emulation/qemu: require sys-libs/ncurses[unicode], bug #607486 Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.3, Repoman-2.3.1
