Adding the following two lines right at the beginning of src_configure appears to fix the problem here (17.0 profile, gcc-6.4.0): test-flags -no-pie >/dev/null && append-flags -no-pie filter-flags -pie

For both 21.4 and 21.5 use -no-pie option since xemacs can't be built with positions indipendent code yet. This is for adopting to the 17.0 profiles which defaults to use PIE.

I ran into the exact same issue with xemacs-21.5.34-r4. Once I ran "emerge --sync" I was able to build. Is it normal to edit the ebuild in-place, without bumping the revision number? This isn't intended as a dig, just I don't understand everything about Gentoo versioning mechanisms/policy.
Thanks for verifying that it works for you. About version bumps read: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/ebuild-revisions/ My conclusion was the build would be broken for users switching to the new 17.0 profile which warranted that it was done in place with no revision bump.
