Can you try with USE="clang" and post the build.log for that? I'd like to think it's -Werror=format related but can't really pinpoint the exact spot. 

Also your setup says
  checking whether the C compiler supports -Wformat-security... no
  checking whether the C++ compiler supports -Wformat-security... no

    dev-lang/spidermonkey: update patch set for 91.5.0
    
     - disable some gcc-specific sanity checks (since they're not ran for
       clang either),
     - disable -Werror=format.

As you can see from your build.log, clang wasn't enabled. I don't use sudo but there's a weird interaction inputting env variables like that, I believe the correct syntax is:
  sudo USE="clang" emerge spidermonkey

but as said, I don't have sudo installed.

Anyway -Werror=format is now disabled when you re-sync and I hope that fixes it for you. If not, please provide build.logs for clang/-clang so I can diff the configure steps.
