Genkernel will not produce a bootable environment, since recent glibc update.

Bootable environment requires initramfs as EFI, LUKS & LVM are involved.
I have this error too. Whith new installation. stage3-amd64-20180614T214502Z.tar.xz and portage-latest.tar.bz2.
Does the recent stabilization of 3.5.3.3 solve this for you?
It fixes this issue but creates different ones
See: https://bugs.gentoo.org/658436
3.5.3.3 works for me.
cannot reproduce anymore.
