The problem is within the configure step.  configure is unable to determine the system name.  You should be able to get around this problem by adding "--with-afs-sysname=amd64_linux26" as an option to configure within the ebuild itself.


When --with-afs-sysname is not specified, configure will try to determine the system name via the --host parameter, which is --host=x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl in this case, and that doesn't match up with what is configure is looking for ("x86_64-*-linux-gnu").  

As an additional comment, I'm not sure if you will run into additional problems trying to build or run using musl.
