Add -fno-unit-at-a-time in your CFLAGS only for this emerge and problem solved :). funit-at-a-time which is implied by -O2 and in this case it's like the parser forgets to close function context when that particular CFLAG is active.
Created attachment 40028 [details, diff] simple bugfix
fixed in portage.
