This is https://bugs.gentoo.org/645718 Hopefully the problem just goes away with firefox 58, which is available in mozilla overlay and should get to main tree soon (last I heard some build tests were still running before introduction to main tree). Though if warnings are treated as errors still there too, then it'll hit again at some point, I guess, unless that bit is solved for good.
