Have you checked the obvious? Do you have gigabytes of free space on the volume housing /var/tmp/portage? Portage leaves its temporary workspace on failure. You have had a lot of falures lately. Sufficient free space on / and /usr? Hardware problems? cpu overheating - is the cpu fan running? general overheating? all fans running? Memory problems? perhaps reseat the memory modules. I/O errors? Corrupted file system? Try fsck. Dave F
