At this point I think you're dealing with a Gentoo-specific compiler bug.
You need to report it to the appropriate channels in that project.
You probably don't really want to hear this, but a lot of people around
here consider Gentoo a poor choice for running servers. That distro's
emphasis is on bleeding edge features/performance, which is an admirable
goal, but you pay a price in stability.
