Everyone will get this. The culprit is a change in the pax-utils.eclass [1]. Which adds USE="hardened to every consumer" of the eclass. It changes nothing for non hardened users but forces a rebuild of the affected packages. This unfortunate change was reverted [2] shortly afterwards, so everybody who did the recompile including me :) has to do it again.
