Looks like this message comes from sshd itself.

hmmm, yeah, but it is questionable if these tests can run when being non-root, isn't it?
I thought that (on regular Gentoo at least) with FEATURES=userpriv, configure & compilation & tests are run as portage:portage. But it makes sense that FEATURES=userpriv not be supported in prefix. Unfortunately I don't have a regular Gentoo box at hand just now to check which user runs these tests over there. Perhaps prefix should have RESTRICT=test for this ebuild.
I just disabled the tests for prefix, thanks
