As described in the duplicate issue this probably has something to do with this issue.

libtooldir=`rdlibtool --config | /bin/sed -n -e 's/^objdir=//p'`; \
if [ -f $libtooldir/libbfd.a ]; then \
  cp $libtooldir/libbfd.a libbfd.tmp; \
  x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib --plugin /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.2.1/liblto_plugin.so libbfd.tmp; \
  /bin/sh ./../move-if-change libbfd.tmp libbfd.a; \
else true; fi
rdlibtool: error: <compiler> is missing.

The argument --config works differently in GNU libtool and slibtool. It should not be part of the build system.

[Comment 10 orbea 2022-07-15 21:08:05 UTC]

I made an upstream issue.

[Comment 11 orbea 2022-11-08 22:54:33 UTC]

This has been fixed in the upstream gdb repo and now works using the live ebuild.

[Comment 12 orbea 2023-03-31 06:07:12 UTC]

There is now a new issue which I reported with a patch here.
