This is related to >=dev-db/mysql-8 and >=dev-db/mysql-connector-c-8 version bump and a candidate to the tracker bug:

Proposed patch fixing the problem related to the new version of mysql-8 & mysql-connector-c-8.

Note that it fails this way even with USE=-mysql, as long as mysql-connector-c is installed, this fails.  So the configure is likely not honouring --without-mysql properly.
