I had the same issue, unfortunately I lost the output information to show what
happened so I'll explain. 

What happened was that the file already existed in /usr/portage/distfiles so
when it fetched the file it assumed an unfinished download and it grabbed only
the last 323 bytes and tagged it on to the end of the old file, causing the MD5
failure.

To fix it I simply went rm /usr/portage/distfiles/embed-typeaheadfind.patch 

Then when I emerged it again, it downloaded the full file and passed the MD5
verification and is currently compiling.

Cool, worked perfectly for me! Thanks for the hint! Gentoo Rocks!

Same problem occurred here. Rm embed-typeaheadfind.patch & re-emerging
mozilla-firefox worked perfectly.

stale distfiles are the biggest cause of md fail failure and patches failing
during an emerge closing as you all seem to have figured this all out.
