For me the problem occurred at the same time as my gcc-7.2 bug

For this bug, I found a potentially related samba bug

[Comment 5 Mike Gilbert 2018-01-15 22:36:48 UTC]

This code is only meant to be executed when migrating between different values of MULTILIB_ABIS.

In this case, the problem occurs because your C compiler is somehow broken, so the ebuild mis-detects this as a multilib migration.

We should probably fix the multilib migration code to not look for rpcgen anymore since glibc no longer uses it.
