Looks like pulseaudio is redefining a glibc function and it is doing it in the wrong way
by adding the static keyword. To me it looks like a pulseaudio problem, not glibc. Not
much you could do except maybe try to comment out the invalid or outdated 'static'
declaration from the pulseaudio's memfd-wrappers.h, but that will probably bring out other
problems. Better open a bug upstream.

There's a pulseaudio-11.1 version in portage, have you tried that already?
