First, I suggest that you try it without the -fforce-addr option as that
forces registers to be used for addr arithmetic and the pic stuff uses
the rbx register for other address stuff.  The -fPIC option should only
be enabled by the ebuild author and never placed in your CFLAGS.  If the
problem persists without the un-advised cflag then please file a bug
report and include me in the CC list.
