Thanks for reporting! So it looks like this is not problem specific to just one 
computer - if there is anybody else who has the same problem, please write a 
mail to me (you do not need to mail to the list) and attach a file with the 
emerge --info output. I would also like to have emerge --info from Jari - 
hopefully I can find a difference to my system.

Unfortunately, I can not reproduce this error on amd64. This weekend I 
upgraded Sage in a prefixed environment to 4.6 but that went fine. After 
upgrading gcc to 4.5.1 I recompiled my entire prefix (emerge -e @world), but I 
still can not reproduce it.

For the time being, I can only recommend these general instructions:

1. make sure everything is up-to-date
2. make sure revdep-rebuild reports no package

If you have spare cpu time you may recompile world (this sounds really crazy, 
but I am running out of options ;) ) or at least Sage and it dependencies:

    emerge -C sage
    emerge --depclean -a
    emerge sage

This would make sure you do not have unintential old packages installed (this 
may have happened if I had done major changes to ebuilds without upgrading 
their revision number - this "should" not be the case, of course).
