Arggghhh, recent baselayout/portage/profile changes strike 
again. That's an old location. You need a make.globals - it's 
kinda important

Like me you may find it at /etc/make.globals

I also recall recently portage was doing similar things to me - 
it was also creating one or two zombies every time it ran. 
Consistently, I would see a zombie in top, and emerge would 
fail. kill -9 the zombie and emerge would work again. It all 
went away suddenly one day, around the timne of the release of 
portage-2.1.something
