Since you suggest this might be related to multilib, is this the 
configuration for 32 bit or 64 bit?  Assuming you are primarily 64 bits, 
which packages have 32 bit versions enabled?  If it is the 32 bit 
version failing, can you disable it?

Note the ebuild itself isn't failing, it's the ./configure stage failing 
to find something it needs.  If a manual ./configure succeeds, it's 
using some different settings compared to as run by the ebuild.  Check 
the exact ./configure line being run, and possible see if it was run 
twice in the full build log, once each for 32 bit and 64 bits.
