It's failing on the install step, not the merge step. So it doesn't help
looking in /usr/share/ because the build is not working there yet.
The problem will lie in /var/tmp/portage/$STUFF/usr/share
You must look there

You have an permission denied error here at this point. Run the emerge again
and when it fails navigate through /var/tmp/portage/ to find the directory or
file in question. See what the problem is - I'll bet money that a regular user
is trying to write to a directory owned by root with perms 755.
When you have all the info, file a bug at b.g.o. because this should not
happen (it's a bug in the build scripts)
