Try using `lsof | grep portage_lockfile` to identify the process that's locking it. The process may be an orphan that you need to kill.
Even after reboot the issue does not disappear. 'emerge -v1 gcc' hangs again and 'lsof' shows only two emerge processes, accessing /var/db/.pkg-ebuild.portage_lockfile: root@impala:/root(12)# emerge -pvuND world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies * waiting for lock on /var/db/.pkg.portage_lockfile ...... done!

The lock on /var/db/.pkg-ebuild.portage_lockfile shows that it's running an ebuild phase, so I guess your problem is that the ebuild phase is hanging for some reason. We need to find out which ebuild phase it is and where it's hanging inside that phase. You can use pstree or ps --forest to see if there's a hung subprocess that it's waiting for.
The ebuild phase is a bash process, and we're interested any subprocesses of it.
Some reboots, some 'emerge -uvDN --kep-going world' and 'revdep-rebuild -- --keep-going' world later 'emerge -v1 gcc' still hangs at the same point. In a second terminal I see: root@impala:/root(42)# ps waux | grep emerge | grep -v grep root 7535 0.2 2.9 354620 238768 pts/0 S+ 08:01 0:41 /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/emerge -v1 gcc root 16241 0.0 3.1 380988 258352 pts/0 S+ 08:39 0:09 /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/emerge -v1 gcc root@impala:/root(43)# ps waux | grep ebuild | grep -v grep root 16385 0.0 0.0 22464 4044 pts/0 S+ 08:40 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh postinst root 16397 0.0 0.0 22616 3712 pts/0 S+ 08:40 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh postinst root@impala:/root(44)# ps waux | grep bash | grep -v grep rose 3502 0.0 0.0 28772 4764 pts/3 Ss+ Jan27 0:00 bash -l root 16385 0.0 0.0 22464 4044 pts/0 S+ 08:40 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh postinst root 16397 0.0 0.0 22616 3712 pts/0 S+ 08:40 0:00 /bin/bash /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh postinst root 27129 0.0 0.0 28640 4696 tty1 S+ Jan27 0:00 -bash root@impala:/root(45)# pstree -p 7535 emerge(7535)───emerge(16241)───ebuild.sh(16385)───ebuild.sh(16397) Which additional information I could still provide?
It looks like it's hanging in the pkg_postinst phase. Go ahead and kill it, then run that postinst phase alone with --debug, like this: ebuild /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3/gcc-4.6.3.ebuild postinst --debug &>debug.log Also, please attach /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3/environment.bz2.

I just did 'ebuild /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3/gcc-4.6.3.ebuild postinst --debug &>debug.log', which also hangs at: ... + echo ' * http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml' * http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml + read -r + LAST_E_CMD=ewarn + return 0 + echo + is_crosscompile + [[ x86_64-pc-linux-gnu != x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ]] I will attach the complete debug.log.

Maybe it is due to autofs problems, after restarting autofs it works.
