=virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command-1.180.0-r1 is the culprit. 
(And the autounmask recommendation by portage is weird. Which portage version 
is that?)

If you look at the emerge output, you see that you have ~arch virtual/perl-
ExtUtils-Command. (Not masked, only ~arch)

That specific version, virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command-1.180.0-r1, can be 
fulfilled by either dev-lang/perl-5.20* (masked) or perl-core/ExtUtils-
Command-1.180.0 (~arch). 

You have three alternative options: 
1) downgrade virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Command to stable (recommended)
2) keyword perl-core/ExtUtils-Command ~arch (should be fine too)
3) unmask =dev-lang/perl-5.20* (NOT RECOMMENDED)

Good luck, 
Andreas
