Your Welcome.
Link for "evdev" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev
The default kernel config has "evdev" built into the kernel.
On my desktop, Nvidia drivers do look for and use "evdev" without
Wayland support in Xorg. ( XFCE )
This might be pedantic ...
... add "sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 mmx acpi -mmxext" to your USE flags in
"make.conf" ( if not already present. ) Some packages look for those
flags in strange ways.
Using a one-problem-at-a-time approach ...
< Proposed Test / Xorg Fix >
... adding "libinput" to the USE flags in your "make.conf".
... setting INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in "make.conf".
Desktops that should work with "libinput/evdev" ONLY are QT4, QT5, XFCE.
XFCE provides its own keyboard library and config applets/plugins. Don't
know about QT4 / QT5.
If you have not already done this ... might want to set
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev vesa" or just "fbdev" to save compile time.
This is getting very interesting.
Please let us know how this works out :)
It's not the cpu flags. I have an identical glibc-based VM where the
drivers build just fine. Also, this is a code problem... both with and
without "evdev"...

Did some searching on "getpgid" ... looks to be related to GNU glibc.

error: implicit declaration of function 'getpgid'
Maybe they used an implicit glibc getpgid call instead of the specific
posix_getpgid call? ( guessing )
( Is Xorg dumping POSIX compliance? Or is this a bug? )
Questions ... if you will permit :
Are you saying that in "make.conf" you set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" and did
a test compile run?
The emerge you tried ... was it "xorg-base/xorg-x11"?
Or did you try a meta package for a desktop?
If a hard dependency link between Xorg server -> xf86-input-keyboard
exists, this will never work. I have no idea at this point if this is
true. What I have been reading suggests that the xf86-input keyboard and
mouse libs are being phased out.
With that call ?error? ... Xorg may be an impossible goal / waste of
time on uClibc.
Thank you for sharing this info.
