Our configuration is very similar; same GCC and glibc, same binutils, 
same baselayout and openrc, etc.  I can't see anything wrong.  I even 
tried it by setting all my USE flags the same way as you, but still I 
can't reproduce the problem.

Does it compile OK if you do it manually?

(you don't have to be root)
   cd ~
   tar -xjf /usr/portage/distfiles/dhcpcd-5.1.1.tar.bz2
   cd dhcpcd-5.1.1
   ./configure (ignore the errors from _arc4random/_closefrom/_strlcpy)
   make

What output do you get from that?  It should begin with:

   Configuring dhcpcd for ... linux
   Looking for compiler ... gcc

The crucial part is "for ... linux".
