It cannot be seen from the comments straightforwardly so the easy workaround again: sys/capability.h is coming from libcap development library, so I emerged both libcap and libcap-ng, then emerged explicitly syslog-ng and it resulted in success.
(In reply to Ladislav Jech from comment #1) > It cannot be seen from the comments straightforwardly so the easy workaround > again: > sys/capability.h is coming from libcap development library, so I emerged > both libcap and libcap-ng, then emerged explicitly syslog-ng and it resulted > in success. syslog-ng ebuilds have "caps? ( sys-libs/libcap )" in DEPEND, and your build log shows you hade USE=caps, so you should already have had /usr/include/sys/capability.h before syslog-ng was emerged. The only possible scenario where this might go wrong is when emerge somehow got the merge order wrong.
reopen if you can reproduce the failure with emerge -ev syslog-ng
