Adding --enable-evex to ./configure prevents the issue.

I confirm this issue.

[ebuild     U ~] app-emulation/bochs-2.6.10::gentoo [2.6.9-r1::local] USE="X avx debugger ncurses readline sdl smp vnc x86-64 -3dnow -doc -gdb (-svga) (-usb%) (-usb-ohci%) (-usb-xhci%)" 0 KiB

I've not tried the suggested fix yet.

[Comment 3 Norman Back 2020-09-08 10:10:03 UTC]

Adding:
        $(use_enable avx evex) \
After:
        $(use_enable avx) \

in the ebuild fixes the issue.

[Comment 4 Norman Back 2020-09-08 10:11:43 UTC]

Looks like this may have been fixed upstream.

[Comment 5 Zdenek Sojka 2020-11-15 14:37:57 UTC]

I can confirm adding
$(use_enable avx evex) \
as suggested, fixes the issue.
The ebuild can otherwise, after renaming, be used for bochs-2.6.11 build.

I requested a version bump, renaming 2.6.10 -> 2.6.11 works on my system (amd64), see Bug #774195
