Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gstreamer -v -a




using portage-2.0.50-r9

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Here are the contents of the log file
("/tmp/sandbox-media-libs_-_gstreamer-0.8.3-r1-<some number>.log"):

mkdir:     /var/lib/cache
mkdir:     /var/lib/cache

In fact, this bug stops me from emerging KDE right now, so for me it's kind of
a showstopper...

I have the same problem as Fredrik Persson. Here is a little more information
on where the ACCESS VIOLATION occurs:
