Since the last day or two, brotli (with no USE flags enabled) fails to install.

Expected Results: It should install. Commit df821da327452dd7cc8e2a80300de834379e3166 looks suspect, but I didn't dig into this.
I can reproduce with USE=-python, works with USE=python
For reference the same error happen with net-libs/libtorrent-rasterbar Both use DISTUTILS_OPTIONAL=1 combined with DISTUTILS_IN_SOURCE_BUILD=1
.. or was happening, I think this commit also fixed this: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=4b0b254144141866ac51f66ad27cadf477f43da3
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 744079 ***
Can add app-editors/qhexedit2 to the casualty list of affected packages. Applied patch and reattempted emerge. Success.
