This is a problem of incorrect parallel make.

Setting OPT='-j1' fixes this.

(I should have tried that)

[Comment 4 Sven Eden 2022-09-22 16:09:22 UTC]

If you hit the build stop and do not want to rebuild with -j1, you can also do:

sudo ebuild /usr/portage/app-text/texlive-core/texlive-core-2021-r3.ebuild merge

This finished the build and merge for me on first try.
