If it were me and I didn't upgrade this very often, I would just put it on the command line for this one time. This would make it compile this time without error and if this gets fixed in the future, it will use the setting in make.conf like the other packages. I'm not going to tell how many times I have put some exception to the norm, forget about it and then later on wonder why portage is doing something weird. :/ Of course, it would just being doing what I told it to do.
