I've been using it since 2003 & have never had a problem this size. However in all that time, I've never done 'emerge world' without '-p' ; I update pkgs individually, typically with '-1'. Try 'emerge -Dvp world' & send the output to a file, then work thro' the list a few pkgs at a time ; if you run into a block, skip that pkg & see how far you can get ; repeat. The result wb to isolate what's going wrong, when you can test solutions, which are usually 1 level deep.
