So I managed to fix the other wonkiness on my system (viz, gcc and
emacs not emerging). Turns out, I had been sloppy in putting together
my make.conf and used march=prescott when I should have been using
march=pentium4. Fixed it, ran emerge -uDNe world. Things emerge now.
Unfortunately, the original problem with emerge --sync has not been
resolved:
rsync error: sibling process crashed (code 15) at main.c(1505)
[generator=3.0.6]
>>> Retrying...
and from dmesg:
grsec: signal 4 sent to /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32164] uid/euid:0/0 gid/
egid:0/0, parent /usr/bin/rsync[rsync:32163] uid/euid:0/0 gid/egid:0/0
Still getting this error. I took a look at the core dump using gdb:
(no debugging symbols found)
Core was generated by `rsync --recursive --links --safe-links --perms
--times --compress --force --who'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Alan, thanks for letting me try this. Unfortunately, same result. I
actually set up my own as well. All the other boxen in the rack are
able to sync to it, but not this one.
I've tried re-emerging portage and rsync to no avail.
I'm running out of ideas...
