Post emerge --info output (as you were instructed when filing the bug) and reopen.

To make swapfile type: # swapoff -a # dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 (this will make on / 1GB swapfile) # mkswap /swapfile # swapon /swapfile # free This worked for me. After compiling, you can swapoff and remove the swapfile, and mount again your original swap.
That fixed it... turns out I did not have any swap .... I have two drives and thought I had a swap on the scsi drive, (It boots up on an ide drive). I simply did a swapon for the /dev/sda1 and it all worked. You can mark this one up as resolved... Thanks!
ok closing as it was a memory issue...
