Created attachment 111248 [details] Output of `emerge --info'
After recompiling with USE=dar64, I was successful. (Actually, I don't really know if dar no longer still continues to use up all of memory. All I really know is that it finished because I ran it overnight.) I did make two changes in the dar invocation: I changed --verbose=skipped to just --verbose, and I added explicitly to the exclude file a mount point that was being excluded anyway.
