Notice that the compiler flag -O3 appears four times. Maybe I've just
never paid enough attention but I don't think I've seen that before.

My /etc/make.conf has this line:

CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

which seems like it should give the same result as what you use, but
I would try using it and see if it makes any difference. Those extra
compiler flags are coming from somewhere and I'm not sure where.

When you use -O2 instead of -O3 does the error message also change?
That might give a clue where the extra flags are coming from.
