5.7 is also affected
please provide the output of `emerge info`. I think you are using some bugy kernel-headers.
uh.. I just saw that you are running Mac OS X. This is not ppc64, but an osx problem.
hdparm is a linux-centric tool, it is not needed in Darwin/OS X. See various tools available to achieve similar functionality i.e. hdiutil, diskutil, hdid, etc.
