Following roughly bug 382421, I did first 'emerge icedtea-bin' and then succesfully 'emerge -vuND icedtea, emerge -C icedtea-bin'.
I presume you reopened this bug by accident, right?
Because it was not exactly the solution of bug 382421, I wanted to notice my solution here.
I see, well, the issue is the same, namely Portage needing some assistance to get icedtea bootstrapped. So please add your workaround there. The one mentioned in the other bug should still work though. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 382421 ***
