I am installing 1.4-rc4, and the bootstrap emerges portage-2.0.47-r10 without any problem. It fails, however on the emerge of baselayout. I created a log file for you to look at with the output from the bootstrap (I commented out the emerge portage and through in an emerge info).

I had PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/usr/tmp, and changing this to /var/tmp made the problem go away. /usr/tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp, so I am not sure what went wrong, but that is definately the culprit (I verified it twice)
It was just a sandbox violation - part of the "portage protection" :)
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
