Looks like it cries on ebuilds with unset EAPI in main tree (attached).
Can be easily fixed in tree by adding EAPI=0, but better handle it
here: ${EAPI-0} (untested!)

It also changed binutils: it used to be slotted only in presence of USE flag.
Now it's always slotted even with USE=-multislot (at least eix thinks so).
