The new 17.0 profile switches the default C++ version to C++14, and
enables PIE/SSP by default with real upstream support for those
features. As a result, it requires gcc-6.x. Most build failures are due
to that -- basically ancient stable versions that never got tested with
a modern compiler/features until now.
Syncing is safe, nothing bad will happen unless you `eselect profile`
one of the new 17.0 profiles.
You're seeing a lot of reports because there is a news item telling
people to switch to the new profile and run "emerge -e @world".
