Created attachment 517094 [details] SVN live ebuild In researching this problem, I see it's a known issue upstream (since 2015), and their advise is to build from Subversion. https://sourceforge.net/p/bochs/discussion/39592/thread/58822184/ Doing so (via this ebuild) works around the issue.
Disabling plugins is a workaround to avoid this bug. Edit bochs-2.6.9.ebuild and commend out "--enable-plugins" parameter in src_configure.
I've encountered exact the same problem and can confirm that the live ebuild from comment#1 works fine.
