With the "ots" USE flag enabled, this happens:

The clue fairy told me to try it without "ots", and it indeed emerges fine that
way. "emerge --info" will be attached shortly.

Created an attachment (id=143574) [details]
emerge --info from my system

if you could tell which version of ots it happens with, it would help, thanks.

$ sudo emerge -pv ots

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
