net-tools needs an openrc version newer than 0.9.9.3. According to eix
on my system 11.5 should be stable (correct me, if I'm wrong). Try to
update openrc first (e.g. emerge -v1 openrc) and check, which version is
being pulled in. If it's still 0.9.8.4 check, if you have masked newer
versions yourself and -if so - remove the mask.
