You are running emerge in a sandbox and the ebuild is trying to chmod a 
directory with these permissions:

 $ ls -ald /usr/share/config
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 208 Oct 23 15:39 /usr/share/config

which of course will never work. This is a bug, so report it at bgo unless 
someone else has already done so.
