I have USE=-tools in /etc/portage/make.conf (I usually don't want them, and prefer to enable that flag package by package in /etc/portage/package.use). With the latest "upgrade" of sys-fs/e2fsprogs, the ext2fs headers don't get built by default (without the tools USE flag). The app-arch/libarchive package requires these headers to build.

@base-system, is it really intentional that USE=tools controls installing headers? This is at least mildly confusing.
I can confirm this for arm64 with app-arch/libarchive-3.6.1 and sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.46.5. The tools are [partly?] provided by busybox.
