This is fixed now on my system. I don't actually know what was wrong, but it appeared to be a problem in one of the system packages when compiled with "-g -ggdb" instead of "-O3" To fix it, I did the following: Create a chroot installation on my system, starting with the stage1 tarball. emerge system --buildpkg in the chroot. Then in the real root, emerge -e system --usepkgonly. Some other bugs are actually dups of this one, so I'll close them now.
