Similar symptoms for other gst plugins. Gut feeling tells me its something opengl related but can't prove anything

Could you include emerge --info too please?
Comment 4 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2021-07-31 06:32:38 UTC 
I've managed to reproduce, my guess is that your /var/tmp/portage is is a symlink and it doesn't seem to play well with this.

If so, I'd suggest using PORTAGE_TMPDIR to pick a location rather than use a symlink.
Comment 5 Jim Beckner 2021-10-20 10:11:46 UTC 
I was having the symlink issue listed in bug 816702. Setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR to a directory that wasn't a symlink fixed the issue for me. /var/tmp/portage on my machine is a symlink.
Comment 6 Tony Lee 2021-11-15 23:14:31 UTC 
I can reproduce it too and I think I have a solution to the symlinking issue that is going on. I'll submit a pull request on github.
