Change this to...

  MAKEOPTS="-j1"

and re-run the build.  You'd be surprised how often that is the problem.
I run MAKEOPTS="-j1" on a Core Duo.  It takes a few minutes longer than
-j3 to update world, but it only takes one crash during a build at -j2
or -j3 to destroy any time that you "save".  I know I'm being more
conservative than the Gentoo handbook, but the smoother builds are worth
it.  And no, the -j option does *NOT* affect the speed of the binary
that you've built.
