How did you manage this?  Two of you in 2 days.

archtester egenix-mx-base # ebuild egenix-mx-base-3.2.3.ebuild clean install

def customize_compiler(compiler):
# grep customize_compiler /usr/lib64/python3.1/distutils/ccompiler.py

# grep customize_compiler /usr/lib64/python3.2/distutils/ccompiler.py
 
So customize_compiler is defined in /usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/ccompiler.py

egenix-mx-base # USE_PYTHON=2.5 ebuild egenix-mx-base-3.2.3.ebuild install
egenix-mx-base # USE_PYTHON=2.6 ebuild egenix-mx-base-3.2.3.ebuild install
egenix-mx-base # USE_PYTHON=2.7 ebuild egenix-mx-base-3.2.3.ebuild install

ALL work.

egenix-mx-base # USE_PYTHON=3.1 ebuild egenix-mx-base-3.2.3.ebuild clean install

can't work because python3 is restricted.

I can only figure you've somehow lost your customize_compiler def in distutils, which is at face value absurd. Check with 

# grep customize_compiler /usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/ccompiler.py
