There's no visible functional limitation but the error message is quite annoying: # nice ebuild /usr/local/portage/sys-fs/udev/udev-243_rc1.ebuild clean prepare clean RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported * systemd-243-rc1.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

Seems like "emerge" is emitting that message as well.
Likely triggerd by this change: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/commit/?id=590e32d05fce225dfdab6308555f4a7668378d79 The question is why the "ip address add" commands are failing on your system. Maybe some weird kernel config?
Oh, do you have IPv6 support disabled?
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #3) > Oh, do you have IPv6 support disabled? Yes, this system has no ipv6 support.
