So here's what's going on. From the virtual/dev-manager ebuild:

DEPEND=""
RDEPEND="|| (
                virtual/udev
                sys-apps/busybox[mdev]
                sys-fs/devfsd
                sys-fs/static-dev
                sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin
        )"

The default is whatever virtual/udev you picked and put in world. If you
have none of those in world, it picks the next from the list that
applies, in your case this is static-dev (FreeBSD is the only place I've
seen devfs since about 2004 or so)

The kernel comes into the mix because it needs one of them. Your problem
is that you have too many, or the wrong ones.

Solution: Remove ALL dev-managers from world and add only eudev back in.
Be specific, for a /dev manager, you do NOT want portage to install what
it thinks might be best. Let portage fix itself with -uND world

I could never get mkvtoolnix-7 to build anywhere. The machine I put it
on are all v6 or thereabouts.

The build errors were weird and made no sense, I forget the details
