You think this is me being rude? You have a
rude awakening ahead of you.
This is a bug in the distro package. One in a
LONG line of bugs in distro packages. ALL of which end up wasting my time. It needs to be fixed in the distro. As I have posted on the calibre linux page for decades, in big, bold, red colored text

WARNING: calibre is a highly complex piece of software with lots of very finicky dependencies. If you install from source, you are on your own. Please do not open bug reports or expect any form of support. You have been warned.

I dont know why all these Linux distros think they are capable of modifying upstream software. They just cause endless breakage and waste people's time. A plague on all their houses.
As for this issue, despite the fact that I absolutely loathe squandering my time on distro created problems, I pointed out the problem days ago:

The calibre build doesnt expect it to be anywhere, that would be sip from the pyqt package. You will need to figure out just how gentoo has butchered their pyqt packaging and workaround it.

I suggest you read the ebuilds for sip/sip-build/sip-pyqt5/pyqt5 in gentoo, find out how they are modifying upstream PyQt5, undo that, and sip build will probably start working again.
