Can you reproduce this error, or was it a one time deal?
Yeah, it happens every time. Very strange. Is this not reproducible for you?
I believe I have found the problem. After staring at the ebuild and others for a long time and not thinking anything was wrong, I tried to do some other ebuilds and they also failed with really weird errors. I also began noticing that my load would periodically spike up to 5-10 with no major CPU consuming processes running.... Heh, well, long story short: Bad IDE cable. Apologies in advance if I wasted much of anyone's time. :)
