Can it be because I changed the ebuild?

No, I changed tons of ebuilds before, they built.

Some people mentions giving permissions of some files to --> portage:portage.

Maybe try portage:x:250:<youruser>

I will try to reproduce your issue on my machine.

Looks like portage fails to apply the patch to Hyprland, commenting out the patch gives me: meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "use_system_wlroots"

You could try a 9999 ebuild from another overlay and see if it builds.
