Added gnome-keyring to USE flag list in /etc/make.conf, then `emerge -uDN world` to pick up changes.

The src_install() function simply calls emake, so it seems like the problem is in bash or portage. Does it help if you rebuild app-shells/bash? Do you have anything in /etc/portage/bashrc?
/etc/portage/bashrc does not exist. After re-emerging app-shells/bash[-3.2_p33], pambase installs fine. I wish I'd tried it one more time before doing so, but so it goes.
