The broken symlink is an autosave file which looks really strange. I notice though that this is a massive parallel build so could be that the build trips on that!? I have reached out to upstream to see if this a known issue. Looks similar to https://bugs.gentoo.org/843236

Upstream provided a patch for making the build more robust against parallelism. See https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=b89aa72248232d5b4245610784d17147122d9341

First build with that on the tinderbox was reported as competing with no QA issues so looks promising.
