Which package is failing? Please check if it is already reported, and
if not then please report a new bug, and if possible make it block
this tracker bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331665

A wild guess out of the blue would be that the error could be simply a
missing include of stat.h in the package's sources. But there might be
other omissions as well, so please provide more info.

I think that unless API/ABIs were changed then the older, already
installed version should still work just fine, as then the missing
includes would only affect compile-time situation.
